Our Farm
Our Farm extends to nearly 500 acres and we are currently milking over 300 cows. In addition we have around 200 younger cattle and calves. The cows produce approximately 9500 litres of milk each a year which is collected daily as part of the Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group which promotes High Animal Welfare. They graze outside for most of the year however we also grow forage maize to feed them in the winter when they are housed.
Over the summer we usually have 2 orphaned lambs and a couple of pigs. In fact in March we took delivery of two Rare Breed, Oxford Sandy and Black piglets, sometimes known as the 'Plum Pudding Pig'
We have lots of wildlife here on the farm, foxes, deer, hares and lots of rabbits can be seen, whilst owls, buzzards, herons, swallows, bats and the occasional woodpecker can be spotted in the air.
Please don't forget that you must only allow your children around our farm animals under good supervision and that all activities are at your own risk. Always remember to wash you hands after being near to the animals.
Oulton House Farm is a working farm and if any one has a particular interest in a more detailed look around we are happy to show you round, please ask.
