About Us
We are lucky enough to live in a beautiful area of Dartmoor National Park in the hamlet of Ponsworthy. We live on a small hill farm which has been in my family for as far back in time as we can trace. Ponsworthy is near the village of Widecombe in the Moor famous for its fair and Uncle Tom Cobley.
Steve’s brother manages the farm in the traditional way raising beef cattle. There are about eighty acres in all and a combination of pasture and woodland. Although we live on the farm we are not involved in the day to day running of it.
Steve is a self employed Landscape Gardener and Diane manages the day to day running of the cottages, updating the websites and general office work.
A few years ago we decided to widen our interests and develop a small breeding herd of Alpacas. This has been a very interesting and enjoyable experience which we are continuing to develop it has become part of our daily routine.
A little information about Us
Very often in life one thing leads to another in our case Alpacas lead to Llamas. As we live in such a beautiful part of the country we thought that walking llamas on the moor would be a lovely way to spend time.
We also keep a few hens to provide us with freshly laid eggs. Last year we had a couple of pigs to clear a plot of land which has now become a vegetable garden.
