ABOUT THE FARM HOLDING

Gerald and Kelly are a father/daughter team who run this 96 acre farm.  They have horses, sheep, hens, ducks, two alpacas, two goats, two dogs and a pet pig. There is also a holiday home on the farm.

Gerald and Kelly have both grown up on the farm and continue to live here, as there are two houses and are confirmed animal lovers.

Kelly qualified as a teacher and Gerald has a life’s experience on the farm, so between them, they are happy to teach people new skills while they are on the farm with them.
