Homeopathic Animal Remedies
We believe in traditional farming methods, and East Wingates Farm has been part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme for over 12 years. East Wingates Farm is made up of non intensively farmed upland pasture. We use no fertilisers or pesticides and give only the minimal amount of medicine to the sheep. Wherever possible we use homeopathic remedies supplied by Blue Merle Animal Health.
"The quality of the lamb was, as always, exceptional, and was very much commented
on at our last dinner party."
