Our endeavour is to establish ‘Shelley Oaks’ as a working mixed farm in a welfare conscious, environmentally friendly way.

We took on the tenancy in April 2016 and are currently undertaking a mammoth task to re-establish the meadow grasslands and renovate the farm buildings. We have managed a flock of pedigree Jacob sheep for a few years and their number grows each Spring. They produce tasty lean meat which we offer for sale in ‘meat boxes’, wool for spinning and beautiful sheep skins. We also produce excellent quality hay in small bales. Our endeavour is to establish ‘Shelley Oaks’ as a working mixed farm in a welfare conscious, environmentally friendly way.
Our Aims:

As we sell direct to the consumer we can offer this excellent product at superb value. Our Hogget is prepared to be either oven or freezer ready in sealed labelled packages. Once frozen it will stay fresh in your freezer for 12 months. Usually a ‘Half Hogget Box’ will contain approximately 8kg of meat and this will take up 1 ½ to 2 shelves of a standard upright freezer.
