Discover the Rare Breeds Centre.
There
is always something to see or do at the centre. We have Ixworth, Scots Grey, Derbyshire Red Cap chickens and Golden Brahmas.
You may even see a chick hatch in our incubation room. There are the Grey Face Dartmoor, Leicester Longwool and
Jacob sheep as well as the very rare Bagot goats and the very friendly Golden Guernseys to see. If its pigs you like we have
Gloucester old spots pigs.
Beautifully situated in the Essex downs the centre is easy to
find by Hadleigh Castle. There is ample car parking, easy access paths and the Hadleigh Training centre who runs Tea
Rooms.
Educational Visits.
We can provide a unique educational experience for
up to 60 children at a time in a safe enviroment. Visits can take place any day in term time. Key stage 1-3

The Rare Breeds Centre is just a part of the whole farm site. A network of footpaths link

The farm is very grateful that it has recieved two grants from Cleanaway
Pitsea Marshes Trust and one from NFU members trust. This project was also supported by
East of England Development Ageancy with funding from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for some of the improvements
made to the Rare Breed Centre in 2006.
