Today, the farm showcases a range of rare breed animals including Suffolk Punch horses, Red Poll and British White cattle, a flock of Norfolk Horn sheep, large black pigs, Norfolk black turkeys, as well as chickens, ducks and geese, and traditional farming techniques that reveal how farming has changed over time. Throughout the year they grow a variety of cereal crops which are grazed by their livestock.
