Here at Elliotts’ Rectory Farm we are passionate about our rural surroundings and the community we are part of. Hospitable by nature, we wanted to create a place for everyone to enjoy.
So come, stay, relax and have fun in our welcoming and inclusive space. Enjoy quality home made products and fabulous entertainment all in repurposed surroundings!
Elliotts’ Rectory farm started off when Gary and Clodgah started the Grindsbrook Dairy herd from scratch in 1973. Through dedication and excessively hard work they built it into a 100 strong milking herd. After 45 years of bringing milk to our tables the herd was sold to facilitate retirement.
After the departure of the dairy cows, the farm was enrolled into an environmental scheme. Half the farm now grows wild bird seed and nectar flowers, to encourage biodiversity, and the other half continues to be pasture, currently grazed by our neighbour’s sheep and cattle. It is great to have livestock in the fields again!
We’re keen to create an inclusive atmosphere that supports local communities as well as increasing awareness of ways to be sustainable, respecting our countryside. Here are a few of the values at the core of everything that we do on the farm:
