About them.

Beef Shorthorn, a native breed suited to this ground. Cattle on Cotswold brash are less about the meat margin than about what they do to the soil and to the story.

Every animal here is farmed to British welfare standards. The programme has never edited out the difficult parts of livestock farming, and neither does this website.

The detail

British standards

Throughout, without exception.

On camera

The field cameras run all year.

Fosterable

A season at a time.

In the shop

As a nineteen-pound soft toy, usually out of stock.

A note on the picture

These are illustrations rather than photographs — screen-printed plates in the estate palette, used wherever a genuine photograph is not available to us.

Watch them.

Field cameras, all year, including lambing.

Wondering

What people actually ask.

The two questions this page gets most, answered without a support ticket.

Not on foot, most of the year — it is a working farm with machinery in it. The cameras, the virtual walk and the footpaths are the honest alternatives.

The farming does not. It made a hundred and forty-four pounds in its first year and has rarely done much better. Everything else on this site exists because of that.

The estate list

Get told before everyone else

One email a fortnight about what is actually happening in the fields, the brewery and the pub — including the bits that went wrong.

Snooping, briefly.

We use a small number of cookies to keep your basket upright and to work out which pages people actually read. We do not sell anything about you to anyone, because that would be a rotten way to behave.
