Home Farm Attingham is run by the Dixon family, third generation tenant farmers since 1964. The farm was opened to the public in 1987 by Sam and Judy Dixon, who now farm in partnership with their eldest son Ben and wife Laura, together with our wider family.

The journey to Home Farm started in 1964 when Eric and Dorothy Dixon took on the National Trust farm tenancy, milking a small herd of Jersey cows, selling milk direct and supplying eggs from battery hens. The original parlour is still on display at the farm today. In 1985 their youngest son Sam and his wife Judy took over the running of the farm. After visiting many similar farms on family holidays with their three children Charlotte, Ben and Joe, they decided to diversify and opened the farm to the public in 1987. In 2008 after agricultural college, and travelling the world, Ben formally joined the family business. In 2011 a robotic milking machine for our herd of 100 dairy cows was installed.

In November 2021 we made the huge decision to sell our beloved dairy herd. A combination of poor milk price, rising costs and national Bovine TB restrictions meant we were faced with the difficult decision to cease milk production.
