About Us
Who We Are
Welcome to Little Clayhill Farm, a cherished family-owned farm spanning 28 acres of picturesque mixed livestock and grassland. Our farm has been lovingly maintained by our family for four generations, with a rich history of farming that stretches back even further.
​
At Little Clayhill Farm, we pride ourselves on being a small-scale operation, which allows us to give meticulous attention to every aspect of our farming practices. This commitment to quality and care is reflected in everything we produce.
​
Our farm is home to a variety of local breeds, including a small outdoor herd of Saddleback sows, a flock of Llyn and Zwarble ewes, and free-range chickens. We chose these breeds not only for the joy they bring us but also for the exceptional quality of their meat.
​
During the summer months, we produce hay that is both sold directly from the farm and used to nourish our animals throughout the winter.
In 2023, we took a significant step forward by establishing our farm shop, allowing us to sell our lamb and pork directly to local customers. Since then, we've expanded our offerings to include local beef, eggs, honey, and more, thanks to our collaborations with other local farmers and producers.
​
In 2024, we further enriched our community by adding a secure dog walking field, which has been warmly embraced by local dog owners.
We invite you to visit Little Clayhill Farm, where tradition meets innovation, and quality is our hallmark.
Thank you for supporting local farming and joining us on this wonderful journey.
