Highbury Farm

Highbury Farm is a first generation family farm of 144 acres plus additional grazing run by Peter and Yvonne Gear and also Son Glen. Also assisting at times is daughter Kelly and Son Scott. Peter and Yvonne have been at Highbury Farm for 31 years. The farm is at the moment running a flock of 500 ewes which this season we will be lambing in early Ma... rch and onwards and rest in middle april onwards. The ewes are cheviot-mule, poll-dorset and easycare. The rams put to the ewes are Polldorset, charolais, beltex and easycare. All the lambs are either grass fed on permanent pasture with clover mixtures or creep fed. The Polldorset females are kept as their fleeces are used for knitting wool and now also the cheviots. the easycare female lambs are being brought into the flock, and the remaining lambs are sold via farmers markets or from the farm through our coldroom/cutting room facility either as half or whole lambs for the freezer or individual cuts or a gift box for that special occasion. Also available mince, lambburgers and mutton which is now becoming popular with the younger generation. Also now try our latest option lamb sausages, rosemary and garlic, lamb mint. We also provide a hogroast service. In addition we sell Sheepskin Rugs, moccasins, insoles . If you are into spinning your own fleeces we can also provide these at shearing time. From our poll/dorset mule shearling fleeces we now have pure natural knitting wool balls and washed hanks. t is a nice soft wool in natural white and grey ,fleck plus carded sliver for spinning and felting.Read More
