Manor Farm, Upton Cheyney

Manor Farm, Upton Cheyney is a hidden gem!

David Hawking and his family are the owners of this ancient farm with traditional farm buildings steeped in history dating back to the 1600's.

The main farm is organic, busying itself with pork and beef production. The philosophy is 'Home Bred, Home Fed' which basically means that Dave rears the animals using the feed that he grows in his own fields.

As stated the farm is old, and combined with its commanding position perched up high on the side of the Cotswolds escarpment, it is the perfect place for visitors from all walks of life.

Families are very welcome - with a area put aside for rabbits, guniea pigs, goats, rare breed pigs (including William and Kate our Kune Kune's), ducks, and geese. Free range chickens wonder around the farm with the occasional escape of a piglet or goat creating lots of fun.

The surrounding countryside is not flat(!) and weary walkers, bike riders and horse riders are all very welcome, where the Farm Shops cafe is open for all sorts of refreshements and light meals.

Manor Farm is also the home to the Upton Cheyney Chilli Company, which opens its doors to visitors from May through to October. Visitors to the chilli farm are welcome to walk through the chilli tunnels, discovering a host of chilli varieties and information.

Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Manor Farm really is a lovely place to visit, so please do come and take a look - you wont be disappointed.
