OUR MISSION & POSITIVE IMPACT!

The inception of Belmont Farm is the result of a lifelong passion for agriculture and the British countryside by the founder & owner Andrew Reid, and his endeavour to inspire others to fully appreciate farming and where food comes from.

The Belmont Farm Team

Our team are the heart and soul of our mission to provide a fun educational experience for all our visitors. Our young professionals bring a wealth of knowledge and qualifications, creating a dynamic blend of expertise that ensures the well-being of our animals and the overall success of our farm.

The welfare of our animals is at the forefront of everything we do. Our team's unwavering dedication means they work tirelessly to create a happy, comfortable, and healthy environment for each and every animal in our care.

Our Animals

We are privileged to call home to over 20 different varieties of animals. The diversity of these animals adds to the charm and educational experience that Belmont Farm offers to its visitors. Each animal brings a unique story and contribution to the farm's ecosystem. Get to know some of our animals!

Beyond the fun and excitement of our visitors' farm, we are proud to maintain a working farm at Belmont. Our working farm is the heart of our agricultural endeavour's, where we put our passion for farming into practice every day. 

In addition we are supported by three other farms where we grow wheat, barley, hay and produce sheep breeding stock, lambs for the market and wild venison.

We operate a well-structured plan for utilising each animal's potential, ensuring that they contribute to both the breeding programme and the production of meat. This thoughtful approach helps maintain a balanced and sustainable livestock operation.

  • Approximately 200 sheep are kept on Belmont Farm for breeding purposes. 

  • Lambing typically occurs around April.

  • Store lambs are used as "lawn mowers” on the farm.

  • Female lambs are used for breeding purposes and may also be sold as breeding stock.

  • The decision to produce rams depends on the lambing season's conditions and the quality of the rams produced.

  • Female calves are raised for breeding purposes.

  • Male calves are raised for meat production.
