About Castle Brea Farm
Castle Brea Farm is a family-run, rare-breed farm established by Jowan and Minnie, who transitioned from urban life to embrace sustainable farming practices.
Their journey began with a passion for agriculture and a commitment to preserving endangered livestock breeds.
Today, the farm is home to a variety of animals, including Boreray sheep, Saddleback pigs, Golden Guernsey goats, and even a Little Owl.
The farm's mission extends beyond animal husbandry; it aims to educate visitors about the importance of rare breeds and sustainable farming methods.
