Our traditional farmstead is a very special place with period farm buildings including a cattle byre with a dairy exhibition, a stable, a granary on staddle stones, a large threshing barn and other surrounding farm buildings. Farm machinery commonly in use on traditional Chiltern farms can be seen around the farm and working in the fields at different times of the farming year

Come and meet our Chilterns farm animals in the farm and surrounding fields including our pedigree flock of Oxford Down sheep and lambs, pretty Silver Grey Dorking chickens, very friendly goats and our new heavy horses, Clydesdale Harvey and Shire foals West Winds Samuel and Joshua. The farm team run “Join in on the Farm” weekends during the season so that visitors can meet some of our animals and participate in traditional Chilterns farming activities. Please visit our Events listings for details of our farming weekends.

Lambing time is during April and will take place in the recently constructed lambing fold in the fields with thatched lambing shelters so that our lambs will be born and brought up in the traditional Chilterns way!

Our recently restored Ransome Sims and Jeffries Thrashing Machine can be seen in action powered by our 1950s Fordson Major Tractor during the harvest event in October.
