About Us
Located in the heart of the Forest of Dean, Plump Hill Farm is a small family farm established with a commitment and desire for self-sufficiency. Today we provide fabulous meat, where customers can be safe in the knowledge that the animals have been reared ethically and to the very highest welfare standards.
Providing an extensive range from sausages to roasting joints and everything in between, Plump Hill Farm offers outdoor reared, premium lamb, hogget, mutton and pork from traditional pedigree breeds, namely Shropshire sheep and Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs. Serving both the trade and public, customers can reserve meat in advance that has been bred to order or purchased subject to availability. Please contact us for further information as to how you can purchase our produce. We take enormous pride in knowing that customers can be sure that what they are buying is what they believe it to be.
Plump Hill Farm’s ethos came out of a desire for proven food provenance and an intense dislike of intensive farming practices, supermarket values and concerns about the decreasing number of heritage and native breeds available in the UK. Run by a husband-and-wife duo, Plump Hill Farm is a real labour of love. At the farm’s core is the genuine love of our livestock and placing animal welfare above all else. Every one of the farm’s animals live free range and graze outdoors in beautiful countryside. The pigs are Gloucestershire Old Spot, the oldest pedigree spotted pig breed in the world, which are currently at risk of extinction. Similarly, the sheep are Shopshires, the oldest pedigree breed of sheep in the UK. Shropshires were only removed from the Rare Breed Survival Trust’s watch list in 2013 and at Plump Hill Farm, we aim to continue to support this breed so that this remains the case.
As well as producing traditional lamb and pork products, we are passionate about supporting other local businesses and working in partnership with others who share our ethos. We provide local accommodation providers with BBQ and breakfast packs for their guests, together with weekend or variety packs if required. Visitors can also purchase our products directly from us by prior arrangement or from local markets. Our produce is also available in the shop at the Forest Larder based at Harts Barn in Longhope and you can enjoy it at many local restaurants. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
We also work with accommodation providers in putting together special celebrations. If you have a special occasion coming up and would like to put together a unique celebration package which may include accommodation, a farm visit and perhaps a cookery lesson or crafting taster session, please get in touch and we can look at organising this for you. Please note that the farm is not open to the public, so this is a very special opportunity.
For further information about what we are able to offer in terms of produce, how to purchase and for information about celebration experiences, please email Deb on deb@plumphillfarm.co.uk in the first instance.
