A real working farm

South Farm is a working family farm tucked into the Cricketing Bottom valley on the South Downs Way. We farm because we love it - and at certain times of year, we open our gates so you can come and see it for yourself.

From Open Farm Sunday in June, to our summer maize maze, we love sharing the farm with the families and communities around us. Keep an eye on what's coming up and come and find us when we're open.
