In our busy lives it is easy to forget how our food is produced. At Overbury we enjoy showing people why farming on Bredon Hill is so important.

We are an arable farm with sheep. We grow a range of crops including wheat, oilseed rape, potatoes and peas.
Our lambs are reared naturally, grazing on Bredon Hill parkland with fresh peas in the summer and specialist fodder crops during the winter months, in order to maintain the natural flavours of the meat (all season long).

2007 Events
We greatly enjoyed our visitors for Open Farm Sunday 10th June 2007
Our lambing day took place on Sunday 15th April. Over 350 people enjoyed a tractor ride up the hill to Park Farm to see our lambing sheds in action.

The children's quiz was won by 7 year old Amelia & the half lamb feedback form draw was won by JS from Earls Croome.

Feedback included: "lovely day, my 3 yr old son really enjoyed himself" "The whole day was lovely, the highlight being holding the lambs!  They were very cute, we all liked Pickle the dog" "Excellent day out, especially for children!! - very informative and "hands on".

We have also had a Countryside Foundation for Education day for over 200 schools children & their teachers as well as opening for Open Farm Sunday.

2006 Events
We celebrated British Food Fortnight at the Vale of Evesham Food Festival and local schools took part in a food map competition.
Our lamb was sold on the LEAF stand at the Royal Show and the Overbury Street Market on Sat 8th July.

We were involved in several open days including Farm Sunday. Our village schools had several visits seeing hay making, lambing and shearing.

There were harvest visits for local children. Our Oat harverst was filmed. To watch it follow the Country Channel links (below & also with the logo) followed by "Watch now" and navigate the scroll bar to "Getting your oats" www.countrychannel.tv

We enjoy taking local schools to see a variety of things over the farming year.
