The Empire Farm is a 100 acre Soil Association organic farm on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, just south of Wincanton in Somerset. We keep poultry and pigs – mostly traditional and rare breeds. We sell a range of poultry housing and other products made from recycled plastic that are made on the farm. 

The farm is the venue of our Farm School. A wide range of butchery and smallholder courses take place in the Coach House and Walled Garden. Amongst our most popular courses are keeping chickens and pigs, pork butchery, curing and smoking meats and making sausages.

The farm also has a very spacious and fully self-contained holiday cottage, known as the Garden Lodge, which has been refurbished to provide first-class holiday accommodation for up to 6 people.

We trust that you find this site informative and useful, and hope that you will come on a course or stay in the Garden Lodge, or perhaps even do both!
