Sweet, sweet love....


Following a fantastic Valentines Weekend at Launceston Farm with five lovely couples and a lovely travel writer and her friend all celebrating the festivities, the English fiz was flowing.
On the farm, the spring beans have been planted and three fiesty new fellas are on their way to cheer up our lonesome cows.
With easter fast approaching, Sarah will be whipping up the shortbread rabbits...Wren can hardly bear the excitment!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...at last!


We just thought the house looked pretty...

Despite the hazardous two inches which have brought Dorset to almost complete standstill, the show must go on. Being the time of year for ploughing, Phil is out there braving the elements - almost as intrepid as Tia (pictured here).

We hope all the snow eases up in time for Launceston Farm's impending Valentines Day celebrations.

We would love to see any other shots of the Tarrant Valley in the snow if anyone has any...?

Happy New Year from the farm!



Following a rather jolly New Year's Eve party in the Old Cart Shed for twenty lucky razellers, Sarah is back to work tending to her herd of Cashmere goats. The kid meat has been flying off the shelves this year and we are hopefully going to sell the skins to a London based footwear company.


Merve, Phil and Jimi have all been hard at it to make sure the animals are fed and watered over the winter and all those essential maintenance jobs are carried out to stop any wily cows - or goats - escaping.


We will hopefully be equally busy with the B&B this month with three nights for the price of two for the whole of January and February - what a treat!

Love is in the air


Launceston Farm's trio of Angus bulls are now happily parading their wares around the fields. We hope they are successful in enticing the ladies as we are looking forward to a gorgeous new herd of Angus calves around August time next year. Good luck chaps!


We are also looking ahead to Valentine's Day celebrations at the farmhouse bed & breakfast so keep an eye on our offers page for news of special treats for your loved one.
