How Solsgirth Farm went from dairy to diversity

At Solsgirth Farm they offer visitors a variety of experiences from guided farm tours and monthly farmers’ markets, to creative hands-on workshops.

Their experiences such as spring lambing tours, willow workshops and Christmas wreath workshops  provide unique and varied opportunities for visitors to engage with the farm throughout the year.

The team at Solsgirth Home Farm enjoy the opportunity to connect with a variety of people. “We love to welcome returning visitors, whether annually or even monthly, to our events and markets - this adds a sense of continuity and community.”

Education 

Solsgirth Home Farm has been developed “as a space to help educate, inform, and have fun.” Visitors can take creative and educational courses available for families, schools, and community groups.

They want to share their vision for farming and sustainability. “Knowing that we are playing our part in educating on sustainable farming and linking people with food is incredibly rewarding. Additionally, it’s also great to see visitors’ enjoyment while immersing themselves in the farm’s outdoor environment.”

Accommodation

They also offer diverse accommodation at Solsgirth Home Farm.

“With our large farmhouse and the elegant Dower House, quirky Butler’s Flat and cozy Coachman’s Lodge at historic Solsgirth House, there is something to suit everyone. Guests have the opportunity to learn about sustainable farming practices, interact with our animals, and enjoy the natural surroundings.”

The team now have big plans. They’re looking to expand their agritourism offerings to further enrich the visitor experience at Solsgirth Home Farm with lots in the pipeline.

“We are in the process of establishing small business units to support local craft / artisan businesses with a similar ethos and will be utilising one for the sale of our own produce.”

“Our Big Barn is being equipped with an in-house catering kitchen to accommodate events such as cooking demonstrations and occasional food and drink markets as well as being used for our own production. Furthermore, preparations are underway for the opening of the Ochil’s Coffee Roastery, with initial groundwork already in progress on the site.”
