The farm now has around 100 goats and makes three kinds of cheese.[4][5][6][7] In 2008 a new barn, milking parlour and dairy was constructed.[8][9]

Architecture

The "L" shaped stone building has a slated cruck roof.[1] Approximately 10 metres (33 ft) east of the main farmhouse is a disused malt house.[2]
