Two Shakes of a Lamb's Tail
Farming is a hard business and there’s not much worse than low and unsteady prices. To help supplement & stabilize their finances, some farms have diversified their operations into more than just one or two crops or species. This is the case with Northfield Farm and Sondes Place. Inside of the on-farm shop at Northfield Farm, you can find cuts of lamb right alongside their beef offerings that were raised on their farm. At Sondes Place, the cattle are neighbored by around 300 Highlander ewes. They have also developed an asparagus field, local school programs, a firewood enterprise, & environmentalism and stewardship schemes. Whether in the pasture or the display case, beef and lamb at Northfield Farm can be found right alongside each other. Their beef animals graze in the same paddock as their near 100 breeding ewes with lambs. This flock contains genetics from a range of breeds including the local Border Leicester as well Scotch Halfbreds, Cheviot
