Hi and welcome...

...to our little corner of the Peak District! We are the Stanton family, and we’re delighted to share our story with you.

Our Small Holding

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Peak District, our small holding is a new adventure for us. We’re enjoying getting involved in preserving native sheep breeds, growing species rich hay, and promoting sustainable farming practices. Our flock includes several rare and heritage breeds, each with their own distinctive characteristics and history.

Our Philosophy

Our approach to farming is simple: respect for the land, care for our animals, and a commitment to sustainability. We believe in the importance of preserving agricultural biodiversity and are dedicated to nurturing our rare breed sheep in a natural and healthy environment. 

Life on the Farm

Life on our small holding is a blend of hard work and rewarding experiences - with a lot of trial-and-error thrown in! From lambing season to shearing time, every day brings new challenges and joys. We cherish the opportunity to live close to nature and to instill in our children a deep appreciation for the rural lifestyle.

We love sharing our farming highs and lows with others. Follow us on social media for a glimpse into our daily life, tips on sustainable farming, and updates on our rare breed sheep. Whether you’re a fellow farmer, a nature enthusiast, or just curious about rural life, we invite you to join us on our journey.
