OUR STORY

Hello! We are Andy and Joanne and we are second generation farmers.
Andy and his dad Jim had been running the 170 dairy herd for over 50 years but in 2020, it was decided that it was time to slow down and we took the decision to sell all the milking herd. We still have young stock and calves, sheep , hens and of course, our alpacas.
Harry, our son has been to see how the New Zealanders farm for 6 months and came back in March 2020. He now works on other local farms and Farmer Andy will just have to wait for his helper to return.
Our daughter Lucy often helps with the glamping site and can usually be seen on the quad.
Finally there's George. He started secondary school in September and you'll probably see him kicking a football around or bringing you wood on the quad. During lockdown he became Farmer Andy's right hand man and has learnt how to muck out/milk/ drive tractors and much much more!
I (Joanne) have a background in teaching and love working outdoors and I am looking forward to sharing our beautiful site with you.
You'll often hear Andy say that his cows have the best view in Lancashire from the 'cow palace'! and now you will too. The site boasts a panoramic view of the infamous Pendle Hill with the tale of the famous witches who once lived there.
Ask for a farm tour, Jim or Andy would love to have a chat- as long as you can speak farmer language!
