Nestled in the hills since 2018
Pilgrim Ridge Farm raises heritage-breed lamb and grass-fed beef with care for the land, the animals, and your table. Come and stay a while.
Pilgrim Ridge Farm sits across 480 acres of rolling hills where the grass grows thick and the skies run wide.
We raise heritage-breed sheep — including Dorper, Romney, and East Friesian crosses — alongside Angus cattle. Every animal is managed on rotational pastures, following the rhythms of the land rather than the calendar.
We believe the best food comes from animals that live well. That means room to roam, natural feed, and low-stress handling. The result is meat with genuine flavour, fat in the right places, and provenance you can trust.

Wake up to birdsong, wander the paddocks, and fall asleep under stars you forgot existed. Three unique retreats await.
Perched on the high paddock with sweeping valley views. Architecturally designed with a king bed, full kitchen, and wood burner.
A lovingly restored 1920s cottage at the farm’s heart. Two bedrooms, a wrap-around veranda, and a garden for the kids.
Luxurious 5m bell tents with real beds, bedside lamps, and a private fire pit. Proper camping, properly comfortable.
“The lamb shoulder was the most flavourful piece of meat we’ve ever cooked at home. You can genuinely taste the difference that proper pasture raising makes.”
“Two nights in the Shepherd’s Cottage with the kids was exactly what we needed. Paddock walks, fresh air, and the most comfortable beds. We’ll be back every year.”
“I ordered a half-beef box and split it with my sister. The quality is outstanding — the ribeye steaks rival anything from a premium butcher at half the price.”
Seasonal updates, recipes, and honest reflections on life on the land.
The romantic notion of lambing is lambs frolicking in sunshine. The reality involves cold mud, torch light, and an awful lot of colostrum.

This is the recipe we pull out for every birthday and Christmas. Low and slow, deeply spiced, and it falls apart at the look of a fork.
