Description:
The visitors centre is located at dere street farm situated on the slope of fields above the Lynn Burn in Stocks
The views are lovely and are set off by the addition of our Fold of Highland Cattle. We also have some pigs, including Gloucester Old Spots that enjoy being talked to, and some rare breed hens that lay tasty eggs.
Marianne Halford and her son Ed have kept Highlanders at the farm since 1997, during which time we have learnt to appreciate the unique character of this hardy native breed of cattle.
We have had great pleasure from letting people comb the cattle at Agricultural Shows and from leaning on gates at the farm on a summer evening listening to the Curlews and now would like to share this with you.
When you come, you can see other animals to which we are adding all the time, including our two inquisitive goats.
