About Me

My photo
Hello from the Brownes. We're a family run farm in rural Aylsham. Our farm is home to Robins Rare Breed Oxford Sandy and Black pigs which we breed for their lovely meat (said to be the best tasting meat out of all rare breed pigs) The Farm is also home to Robin & Beckie's Boer Goats bred for their high quality healthy meat low in cholesterol and high in protien) We're also trying to increase the quanity of our very good quailty stock to help improve bloodlines through the country. Jackies Anglo Nubian goats, kept for both their meat, which is incredibly healthy for you and their milk which we're planning to make cheese, icecream, soap, moisturiser and a probiotic drink with. We also keep a few chickens, some traditonal breeds as well as hybrids and some Muscovy ducks for their free range eggs as well as David having arable land to produce home grown cereals for our animals. We also have 3 holiday cottages alongside the farm. These are run by Jackie and Hayley. All visitors have acess to our private section of the river Bure. We'd like to share the farm experience with visitors to Bure Valley Farm and those following our blog. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

First New Arrivals

Our first new arrivals of the year have come in the form of some fluffy little yellow Light Sussex chicks. So far we have 5 out but still some eggs in the incubator. We shall put a picture up and let you all know how many we get in the end. We just love Spring!

Geese!

We decided we'd quite like to try keeping, and maybe even breeding, geese and within a few days we already have 5 Chinese geese and some Embden goslings on the way. The chinese geese are currently sharing the pond with the ducks, lets hope they get on okay. We'll look forward to finding that first goose egg too.

New piggies.

On monday, Jackie and David picked up two new piggies, all the way from Somerset! Fudge is 2 years old and should be in pig so we're looking forward to little piglets in about 3 months time. We've called her neice Barley (sugar) and she's about 4 months old. Both lovely looking animals and Charles is so pleased to have new (lady) friends.
