All these ones pictured are sold now, however
we have one little brindle coloured girl available from a more
recent litter - similar to the ones in the second picture down.
We are also expecting some more which will be ready to go in January.
All £35 each.

Sheep
We have here on the farm a flock of Dorset X Soay sheep. The Dorsets
(polled and D.Down) are large white sheep, and the Soays are small,
brown, horned and very hardy.
The resulting offspring come in all shades through black - brown
- tan - greys - white. Some have horns, and some not.
These are very hardy sheep, and lamb very easily. They are ideal
in a parkland or garden setting as they look good, and more or
less look after themselves (unlike your average sheep!). Lambing
is also an exciting time, as you never quite know what is going
to pop out.
They will survive on fairly sparse grazing, and are suitable for
most environments, subject to adequate fencing.
We have various ages and sexes for sale, including two strong
rams which are ready to go now.

Sheeps' Fleece
We have a stock of different colour fleeces for spinning. The
fleeces are from our own organically reared sheep and are therefore
free from any chemical treatments.
The fleece is raw and unwashed. POA - please call and let us know
if you are interested. We can post if necessary.

Panels
A local company Solex Energy Ltd can supply flat solar heating
panels. They can supply bare panels, panels with fixings or complete
kits, at prices that we think are very competitive.
The panels are made in Europe and are Solar Keymarked (industry
wide quality standard). Priced from £210+vat for a 2m2
panel.

Shower Cabins
Solex Energy built our first stand alone solar shower cabin in
2008. This has performed very well for us through two camping
seasons, and they are now marketing these.
Based on new converted shipping containers, these units are totally
self contained and self powered - they just need a water supply.
They are transported on a standard crane lorry, and may be offloaded,
unfolded and connected in about half an hour.
The running cost is only that of the water used - the energy costs
and CO2
emissions are zero.
They are ideal for campsites, festivals, events and any other
location where showers are required.
