Working at Stolford Farm

Stolford farm is thought to be over 600 years old. As well as a working farm it is now a family home, holiday destination and home to an array of wildlife.

Stolford is still run as a traditional Exmoor hill farm, with the grazing licensed between April and December to a local farming family. Some 500 sheep, a mixture of Texel and Jacob ewes and followers, can be found on the slopes and pastures around the farm all through the Spring, Summer, and Autumn, and when the grazing is plentiful, there is some good hay and silage ground and much of it is mown.
