LAMBING

COST: £5 PER PERSON
EVENT TYPE: TICKETED (on sale from Feb, 2025)
It’s time to welcome new life to the farm as our rare breed ewes coming into the barn for lambing. Come and see the new lambs (you might even see a birth), feed the goats and if we’re extra lucky, there may even be piglets to spy.
CAMPING

COST: £15 PER PITCH (1 TENT, 1 PUP TENT, MAX SIX PEOPLE)
EVENT TYPE: BOOKING REQUIRED via PITCHUP or USE CONTACT FORM BELOW.
Come and join me at Beetlebank Farm for a wild camping trip. At the top of a lovely rewilded pasture lays my small campsite - a maximum of 15 pitches. Get back to nature and sleep below clear, starry Suffolk skies whilst enjoying the hoots of owls, the odd bark from a muntjac deer and the crackling of your campfire. During the day, headed into rural Suffolk, whether that’s to the local pub, the beach (just 15 minutes drive away) or a variety of cycling/rambling routes. OR just put our your chair, read a book, listen to the birds in the ancient oak trees and watch the butterflies flutter across the grass.
Utilities and Services - leave all the mod cons behind; this is a wild camping experience! No electricity or running water available, but I’ll provide you with a 5lt bottle of water when you first arrive to make that essential brew. There is a CoOp, Spar, Petrol Station and Budgens within 5 miles for top-ups. Toilets are provided by Portaloos and, coming soon, natural compost toilets.
Please be aware; tents only. No campervans unless previously discussed.
VEG BOX PICK-UP AND POP-UP FARM SHOP

For Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) customers, it’s a chance to pick up your weekly veggie box (you can purchase here), find out the latest goings on at the farm and purchase any additional fruit, veg or flowers you might want for the coming week.
The collection point also hosts a small pop-up vegetable and flower shop. Please note, CSA customers will have first choice of the produce meaning that quantities available in the pop-up will fluctuate week to week.
