Our Farm

South Farm is a family run working farm nestled in the Cricketing Bottom valley within the South Downs National Park. The ancient downland is a haven for birds, wildlife and native plants. We are a mixed farm with arable crops, pumpkins, sheep, and a herd of pedigree British Friesian cows.

The pedigree started on the farm in the 1930s and can be traced all the way back to the first β€˜Rodmell Audrey’ who started the herd. They can be seen grazing on lush Sussex downland for 365 days of the year.

The crops we grow on the farm are used to feed all the animals and help us to be less reliant on bought-in feed. Our aim is to be self sufficient in feeding our animals.

We grow pumpkins and each October welcome visitors to walk round our pumpkin field to purchase pumpkins and squash of their choice.

We are delighted to welcome back 10 beautifully furnished Beau & Bell glamping tents to a quiet corner of South Farm. Our farm is fortunate enough to be surrounded by beautiful downland, close to the historic town of Lewes, and only 4 miles from the stunning Sussex coastline - a perfect location for a simple, yet comfortable, camping staycation.
