Feltham's Farm
Feltham’s Farm is 22 acres of organic land in the north of Somerset’s beautiful Blackmore Vale. It is run by Marcus Fergusson and Penny Nagle, who moved here six years ago. There are always people around, as our cheese business employs between two and four people while living on site there are up to four international volunteers at any time. This is a community of people interested in good food, sourced both locally and organically.
The farm is great for children – Marcus and Penny have three of their own aged 13, 11 and 8, so there are trampolines, swings, tree houses and Tarzan swings. Animals are very much part of our lives: we have pigs (and sometimes very cute piglets); sheep (and lambs); ducks; chickens; quail; and peacocks. Children are always welcome to join in the feeding times in the morning and early evening, and we’re happy to talk about the animals and how important it is to connect to nature.
