About Us
We started out as a horticultural enterprise with a small flock of chickens, later we expanded by adding ducks of various breeds.

The problem with this venture was we were feeding the rabbits rather than raising a vegetable crop for sale; at least rabbits do not eat eggs.

Along with the chickens and ducks we had a small fruit orchard but we still wanted to farm something else.

After much thought and quite a bit of research we decided to invest in ostriches. One of the first things we had to do was to join the British Domesticated Ostrich Association and from them we found out that ostriches are classed as dangerous wild animals. So much for the Domestic in the association's title.

Another avenue of exploration was a trip to Kenya for a working holiday, it was here we visited several working ostrich farms to gain experience.

Back again in England we thought that our idea was worth pursuing so through the B.D.O.A. we located our first home-bred ostriches.

We had to obtain a licence to hold, own and farm ostriches the licence is issued by the local council authority. There are certain aspects of the licence you have to fulfil perhaps the most important being fencing!

We do not just farm ostriches, to complement our range of food products, we want to offer to you the discerning customer geese or shall I say goose as well as the previously mentioned ducks.

Finally to save mowing the grass between the ostrich paddocks we have a small flock of Jacob Sheep, these sheep are one of the oldest breeds of sheep having decended from flocks shepherded by the biblical Jacob.

To help maintain bloodlines in the 'at risk rare breeds' we have a Shetland Cow, which with luck will be producing a healthy calf in April 2006. Watch this space for an update later this year.
