The Nixon family has farmed at this farm since the early 1930s when William Nixon and his wife Mary first lived here. They had a milking herd and delivered milk to most of the neighbours and also reared pigs.

William Nixon then built a slaughterhouse and from that beginning, started selling meat.

Gradually the shop was organised and the farms changed to the rearing of beef cattle. There are three grandchildren now running the business.

Julie Egglestone and Roger (her husband), Paul Nixon and lan Nixon.

The present shop was refitted and we now have a Pet Shop, Pers Corner, 2 Tea Rooms, 2 Play Areas and a Gift Shop.
