Traditional Working Farm
We've moved. After thirteen exciting and rewarding years at Mill Pond Farm during which we've completed all of the main stages of conservation and restoration to the historic buildings, and opened the farm to over 7,000 visitors each year, the time has come for new custodians. The lovely new owners of Mill Pond Farm will relaunch this site with further exciting developments during 2021.
Thanks to all those who helped us on our journey.

Fine wool alpacas
At Mill Pond Farm we have chosen to build a herd of alpacas to produce wonderful, soft fleece that's warmer than sheep's wool and comes in a range of natural colours, from white through to fawn, brown, grey and black. Being light on the land, alpacas are an environmentally-friendly way of producing naturally coloured fleece. Aiming to produce well-conformed animals with fine, characterful fleece, Mill Pond Farm also believes in producing calm, friendly alpacas. We use Camelidynamics handling techniques to ensure our herd is approachable, easy to handle and relaxed around people. Mill Pond Farm's alpaca herd is growing, and our current crias have arrived during December and early January, five girls and a boy. Currently we have around 70 alpacas in our herd.
Our beautiful fleece is being made into a range of quality products which will soon be available to buy from our shop and online store.
