Shutelake Lamb

When I was 14, my family moved to Shutelake - and that's where it all began!  A goat named Jane (and her two surprise kids), completely changed my world and sparked a love of farming that has never left me. 

 

As a teenager, I spend every spare moment around animals - volunteering on local farms, looking after my own little menagerie of goats, sheep, donkeys, chickens and ducks, or walking the dogs around the land.  I dreamed of becoming a vet, and although my path took a few twists and turns, it eventually led me to study veterinary medicine at Nottingham. 

​

I worked as a farm vet in Devon and loved building connections with sheep farmers, but my heart kept calling me back home to the land at Shutelake.  In 2016, the first Shutelake Lambs were born (along with my first son) and since then the farm has grown into a true family effort, with both boys, their grandparents, my sister and her family, all involved.   We have learnt a lot over the years and these shared experiences have built a strong bond between us, united by a love for what we do.
