- Plaw Hatch Farm - milk, dairy, chickens, lamb, wool,pork,
Plawhatch Ln, Sharpthorne, East Grinstead RH19 4JL. Phone: 01342 810201. Email: INFO@PLAWHATCHFARM.CO.UK. Open: see their page. The Plaw Hatch Dairy herd is central to the health and function of the farm. We have 35 Meuse Rhine Issel (MRI) cattle, with a few cross Ayrshire, Brown Swiss and Montbeliard. We are a closed herd and all of the ladies were born on the farm; mothers, daughters, nieces and grand-daughters.
We have about 380 laying hens. They are housed in 5 different groups of free-range pasture, each with their own house and cockerel. The hens get a fresh patch of grass every month to give them plenty of greens to peck and to keep down any pests that would otherwise build up. Small flocks and regular fresh land keep the vet at bay. The hens are fed on home-grown wheat, barley & oats and organic (gmo free) layers pellets. We currently have Lleyn, Romney and Jacob cross ewes at Plaw Hatch. The ewes lamb outside from late March; we shear the ewes in late May and wean the lambs at the beginning of July. Heritage breed pigs, Tamworths, Durocs, and Large Blacks. They are great for turning the soil and regenerating the land.
