About Me

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.

R.I.P Meggan

Last night our darling little Meggie lost her fight to stay with us. Her body had just become too weak that no matter how much spirit and will power and determination she had to stay here with us she sadly lost her fight. Over the past couple of days she had become to weak to use her little legs and sometimes even lifting her head was a struggle, though she tried very very hard, happily taking the oatmeal and porridge we syringed into her and trying to munch her hay right to the end. She even semed to enjoy her warm baths to try and help her leg muscles. Although we only got to spend 2 weeks with her she was much much loved by all of us being such a strong character despite her tiny size and the gap she leaves behind is huge. She will be very very missed. Though, despite the sadness felt by everyone i think she taught us all a valuable lesson - no matter how hard, how pointless it may seem, its always worth fighting for and bless her little heart she fought until the very end.



Someone told me, not so long ago, that some things are too beautiful to be with us for long and my little Meggie was certainly beautiful, inside and out. The yard already feels that little bit duller, but we feel privalaged that we got to have her, even for just this short time. 

 So you rest in peace my little darling, after the fight you put in you certainly deserve to. You would have had a lovely life here and we are all so very sorry you dont get the chance, it feels very unfair, but i think you know from how those wise little eyes looked at us that we really did try our best, and that we love you, always.
