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.

It's been a while and a lot has happened.

Where to start. We managed to find a whole heard of Boer goats for sale so Jackie and David picked up all 7 girls and 1 boy the middle of last month. They have settled in nicely and are now enjoying life outside on the meadow. Was lovely to see them all running around and jumping.

Our Light Sussex chicks are growing fast and some have already gone to new homes. We have added some Cream Legbar and and Marans to our traditional breeds so look forward to the different coloured eggs.

We thought our Oxford Sandy and Black pig was huge by her first possible due date but she didn't have the piglets until nearly 3 weeks later! We are so excited to have our first litter of piglets here. they are so cute and Fudge had a nice number at 12. We shall keep you updated as they get older. I'm sure there will be lots of pictures to come.

Hayley and Kody have brought home a lovely Husky pup to join the family too. She's settling in well and learning fast.
