Conservation

Over 70% of the UK’s land is farmed in some way – so how this land is managed has a big impact on the plants and animals that live there. Here at OBG we recognize the importance of using sustainable environmental land management techniques such as “conservation grazing”.

Accommodation

Come stay with us at Mill Meadows Farm in our cosy Shepherd’s Hut or the Alpaca Cabin.

A great visit for a meet and greet session at Our Back Garden today. My granddaughter absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and helpful, making it such a pleasurable visit. We definitely intend to return for alpaca walking later in the year

Had an amazing visit today, meeting and feeding the alpacas. The hosts were really friendly and informative and obviously really care about their animals and their business. The alpacas were lovely, the hot drinks great and the produce made from the alpaca wool was wonderful; I look forward to wearing my hat and socks and I'm sure our grandson will love his cuddly alpaca. Would definitely recommend a visit and would love to come back.

We had a fantastic couple of hours with the alpacas today. Such a great place, with a lovely family feel. Laura was brilliant and taught us everything we needed to know. I’m in love with Flora and wanted to take her home. Thank you so much.
