THE FARM
Anne and John have been tenants at Smerrills Farm since 1979 but the family have been running the farm since 1923 and are proud to have 130 Farm Assured dairy cows on our 260 acre farm and have been building their Boer goat herd since 2009.
Many know that dairy and arable farming have become increasingly difficult in recent years so they decided to take a step into the modern era by providing lean, delicious and nutritious fresh goat meat to Derbyshire.
However, we may now be in the modern era but Smerrills Farm is steeped in history with many boundary maps dating back to 1887 and the farmhouse being a listed building. The farm was also involved in helping the war effort in feeding Britain during 1940’s and has medieval ridge and furrow permanent pastures of old style grass.
