Shortwood Family Farm





A real working organic dairy farm.

Shortwood is a 150 acre farm set in the parish of Little Cowarne in the county of Herefordshire, and has been farmed by the Legge family since 1903. We gained full organic status (Soil Association) in 2000.

The main enterprise on the farm is the dairy herd with the milk being marketed through the Organic Milk Suppliers Cooperative (OMSCO). Dairy heifers are reared on the farm as herd replacements.

Another enterprise is the herd of free range Berkshire pigs which are kept to supply pork for our son's butcher shop in Bromyard (Legges of Bromyard). The whole farm is down to grass which provides summer grazing and winter forage for the animals.

There is 10 acres of ancient woodland in which the traditional art of coppicing has recently been re-established. Other animals on the farm, including ponies, donkeys, Jacob sheep, Kune-Kune pigs, assorted poultry and guinea pigs are largely for the benefit of the visiting public.

At the farm you can:

-feed pigs, lambs and goats

-hand milk a cow

-make friends with ponies and donkeys

-cuddle baby animals

-see our African farmyard

-have fun while you learn

-take a tractor ride
