Our Smallholding & Honey Farm
Join us for a hands-on look at modern self-sufficiency and traditional beekeeping.
1. Welcome & Introduction
The day begins with a friendly welcome over tea or coffee. After introductions, we'll give a short talk about our farm's ethos: from our self-sufficiency goals and "farm-for-nature" principles to the animals we keep and the honey we are so proud of.
2. The Farm Walk
Field-to-Fork, we'll head out for a guided walk of the smallholding.
You will see:
The thriving vegetable garden and orchard.
The paddocks and our livestock.
How we produce our own fruit, veg, eggs, beef, pork, preserves, and ferments.
3. The Honey Tour

The Honey House: A tour of all the equipment, from the hive components to the processing room where honey is spun from the frames and put into jars.
The Apiary: A visit to the hives (from a safe viewing distance) where we'll discuss the beekeeping year and the work involved in caring for our bees.
4. The Grand Finale
A Honey Tasting We'll wrap up with a dedicated Q&A session. To finish, you'll be invited to a guided tasting to sample the range of delicious, unique honeys produced right here on the farm.
