What are we breeding in 2011? ~ ~ Contact Us ~ ~ About Us
Pure breeds of chickens and ducks
WHAT WE DO :
Interesting and unusual garden plants
We breed and rear pure breeds of traditional chickens and ducks - you can find out lots more details of the birds from our PoultryScotland and our Domestic Ducks websites;
We also sell quality, functional, UK manufactured poultry and waterfowl housing as well as Electric fencing kits for poultry and all your equipment needs
When we moved to the farm nearly 20 years ago from Oban it was just about derelict and since then we have been steadily renovating it and trying to make a living from our 24 acres. In the past we have had dairy goats and a local craft shop. Now we are concentrating on the poultry, waterfowl and plants as well as promoting local produce through the regular Local Market held here at the farm.
Some of the breeds we have are getting very rare in the utility stocks (these are the types of birds that are still productive as well as being decorative) and we hope that we can do our bit in revitalising these breeds so that they will be available to generations after us.
For this reason we do not have all the possible breeds (several hundred breeds and colours are classified in the various poultry fancy standards) but are breeding and rearing good quality, healthy stock of about 30 at the moment.
We hope you will enjoy visiting our farm - we have laid paths around the pens for your comfort and provided information about each breed so you can find out more as you wander around the fields overlooking the tidal bay and the mountains of Morvern. The birds will come and greet you and love getting titbits of feed. There are so many colours, sizes and shape to see - we are sure you will be surprised. The poultry park is not always open.
Across the fences in the other fields you may be able to spot our small flock of Jacob sheep.
directions to the farm facilities on the farmFor the gardeners we have a hardy plant nursery and covered area for you to browse amongst quality young plants well grown in Argyll.
We have a wide selection of grasses, rhododendrons, heathers, alpines, perennials, herbs, trees, roses, planters, bulbs etc. I am enjoying growing really interesting varieties as well as the more common ones.
