Mitchell's Elm House

Return to the main website Home the main pages are here:

bees, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, ponies, trees, meadows, turbine, vegetables, herbs, sunrise, sunset, hay making, hedge laying, products, smallholding.

The main website was created using MicroSoft Expressions Web (FrontPage). Here are some sunrays glancing through the mist on a November afternoon.

Mitchell’s Elm House is set in about 9 acres of ground. The largest field, “Plumtree
Close”, is 2.5 acres. We use this for hay and to graze the sheep. The other
land, “Bailey’s Piece”, has been divided into a variety of plots: an avenue of
small leaf lime trees, an ash grove, an oak spinney, three pony paddocks and
four sheep paddocks.

—– Plumtree Close and Bailey’s Piece are the old field names. —–

If you are interested in becoming a smallholder, but are not quite sure, you
might like to visit us and get some first hand experience. Perhaps you would
like a working holiday? Thinking of buying a smallholding?

We have moved to a new server here: 18/4/2012 — SO WE ARE NOW ON THE CLOUD.
