Our FarmOsbaston House Farm is a small scale, working farm. We are passionate about the welfare of the animals we keep, and the wild animals and birds that choose our farm as their home. In this part of our website you can see the range of animals we farm, crops we grow, and farm wildlife and birdlife. We are primarily a goat farm and sometimes sell goatlings (young female goats who are not yet milkers), so here you can also find out about any animals that are available for purchase. |
