We are looking for a calm and enthusiastic person to join our family farm in January next year. We have an established flock of 300 Lacaune ewes we are lambing at the end of January inside and plan to trial a new system next year to keep the lambs with their mothers until weaning with the aim of moving to an Organic system over the next few years. All the milk is used to make award winning cheese on the farm.

We are also planning to trial a small flock of dairy goats in order to fill up the gap in the year when the sheep are dried off (Sept-January).
