Ixworth Chickens

• This breed was created by Reginald Appleyard in 1931 and was named after the village he was born in, Ixworth!
• The Ixworth chicken only comes in one colour which is white.

Suffolk Sheep

• Our Suffolk ewe is called Barbara! She is a firm favourite with our ranger team and produces lovely lambs.
• This breed of sheep is one of the most frequently used breeds in modern sheep farming.

Suffolk Punch

• This breed of horse is the oldest breed of heavy horse and all modern Suffolk’s descended from one horse in the village of Ufford.
• They are so rare they’re classed as Critically Endangered. Our two sisters, Annie & Annabelle are currently at The Suffolk Punch Trust, as part of a breeding programme with The Suffolk Horse Society, in the hope they will become pregnant and grow the population of this breed.

Large Black

• The Large Black pig is Britain’s only all black breed of pig and a very docile breed.
• It is believed that in the 18^th century all black pigs came off a boat from China and docked in Suffolk, as well as Cornwall and bred to be what we know today, the Large Black.
• We have just welcomed a new pedigree registered boar called Chunky, he is with his ‘ladies’ and we hope to welcome piglets soon.

Suffolk produce in the Farm Shop
