Nestling at the foot of Firle Beacon on the South Downs in Sussex, Middle Farm is a 625 acre working family farm. We offer a warm country welcome, with something for every member of the family to enjoy.

 

Six generations of farming have given us a unique insight into British food production. The highest standards of animal welfare and environmental care show in our milk and meat products. We demand those same high standards from everyone whose produce we stock.  We aim to promote the excellence of British farming by presenting to our customers the finest food and drink from the British countryside, maintaining the best of all that is traditional, whilst welcoming innovation wherever we find it.

Come and meet our friendly chickens, ducks, spotted pigs and donkeys. Don’t miss our playful rabbits and guinea pigs. There are timed events throughout the day, including our prize-winning pedigree Jersey cows being milked each afternoon.  We have an outdoor playground and a hay play barn, a nature trail around the farm and a picnic area. We can also cater for educational visits.

The National Collection of Cider & Perry is a unique celebration of our national fruit. Visitors can taste, compare and buy from a range of over 100 different draught ciders and perries (including our own Pookhill Cider). As well as a huge range of meads, country wines and fruit liqueurs, the Collection holds a carefully selected range of draught and bottled ales. We also stock English cider brandy and eau de vie. Fresh apple juice is pressed daily, and an apple-pressing service is offered throughout the late summer and autumn.

Other facilities include a restaurant, farm shop and gift shop selling quality homewares, books and toys.
