Broomhill Farm, Derbyshire

So this week we had the week off, it was meant to be to decorate mainly, but we got it done much quicker.  So we decided to book a couple of nights away in the van. 

Broomhill Beef Farm is a working Beef farm, run by Rosie and her husband and Pip the welcoming dog!  They offer really great pitches and shower/toilet facilities, which alot of sites are not currently.   

They have 19 incredibly free range chickens that wonder freely and you can buy the delicious eggs on site.  Alongside this they also sell there own Beef that they have reared. 

Rosie is very knowledgeable about the impact of rearing the animals and their wellbeing along with that of the environment.  All the Beef is grass feed in the summer and fed hay which they cut once a year at the end of July again to cause as little disturbance to the environment and nature as possible.  You can buy cuts of meat from the farm direct by contacting them.








We have only just purchased the additional side tent that attaches to the van so it took some doing working out how to assemble it!! 

Once it was up, goodness you could sleep 4 people in it!  We took it in turns one sleeping in the van, the other the tent. My turn for the tent later! 




This was me in the tent! 



Part ii is our morning walk and an amazing Pottery find!
