We are a 250 acre family run hill farm high on top of Exmoor and we run a pedigree herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle, Boer Meat Goats and native Exmoor Horn Sheep along with our commercial ewes – North County Mules X Primera – giving our lambs a good meat covering. We have our animals welfare in mind and love caring for them. We are proud to sell our home reared grass fed meat to you.
West Twitchen Ball Farm is within the Exmoor National Park on the south side renowned for its wildness, “dark skies” and fresh air along with the red deer, wildlife and birds of prey that fly high over the farm.
Mother Sarah and son Josh care for their animals throughout the year no matter what the weather! Spring is our busy time of year where we are lambing, kidding and calving.
During the summer time we are busy making and collecting our harvest of haylage and hay fodder for the animals during the winter. Sometimes this is testing due to Exmoor’s adverse weather conditions and living on a 1100ft and above Exmoor Hill Farm which has a climate of its own! Yet on a fine day there is no more beautiful place to be – some call it the mountains.
We are a member of the Red Tractor farm and food standards scheme and a member of the Devon Association of Smallholders.
