With 1,585 mainly arable acres, Home Farm is the largest in Ambridge and carries out contract farming for other local farms. As a partner with the Hassett Hills Meat Company, it raises and supplies high-quality lamb to butchers and caterers, selling its venison and strawberries at local farmers' markets. And in 2005 it trialled a new visitor attraction - a maize maze. |
