Church Farm
Church Farm nestles alongside the historic Norman church in the tiny village of Alsop en le Dale, at the head of one of the most beautiful but undiscovered dales in the Peak National Park.
On our farm we rear Gloucester Cattle, an ancient breed which were numerous in the Severn Vale from the 13th century, and whose milk was used to make the original Double Gloucester cheese.
There are only about 700 Gloucester cows in existence, and a number of these are on our farm. Gloucester cattle are a dual purpose breed - they are good milk producers, provide fine lean beef and were also used as draught oxen.
One of the farm hands is our Australian Kelpie dog called Chatsworth Mollie. She helps round up cattle and she's as soft as a brush!
We also have two cats called Mango (ginger) and Chutney (black / white), pictured as kittens.
Our rare breed of cattle are out and about from April to late October. This is Frideswide.
Our Wellsummers poultry are free range. Between February and November they lay eggs that are for sale on the farm.
The farm is located next to an eleventh century village Church.
