About Us

Gill, Dave and Tori bought South Newton Grange Farm 3 years ago, breeding sheep, pigs and cattle on a small commercial basis specialising in rare breeds. Our aim is to produce pedigree animals of top quality breeding and in doing so are helping to preserve rare and endangered breeds. We also have ponies, goats, alpacas, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small furries. All our animals that we bring on the bus are friendly and tactile

I have been a qualified teacher for 24 years working with all ages and then in the special needs sector. I took time out to have a family and went back 6 years ago as a student to Houghall college at Durham studying agriculture and started working there as a lecturer. I have now gained knowledge and experience with all farm animals and I am a qualified NVQ assessor in agriculture.
