Welcome to Crabtree Farm
Crabtree Farm is a picturesque, family-run sheep and beef farm nestled on the Lancashire–Cumbria border, where rolling pastures meet the edge of the Lake District. Generations of farming heritage blend seamlessly here with a deep respect for the land and a shared passion for working in harmony with nature.
The farm’s ethos is simple: to balance productive, high-quality farming with genuine environmental stewardship. This commitment is reflected in ongoing conservation projects, from extensive tree planting and new hedge creation to the restoration of traditional field boundaries. These initiatives have transformed the landscape, enhancing biodiversity and creating thriving habitats for local wildlife.
Crabtree Farm is alive with nature — home to breeding Barn Owls, Pied and Spotted Flycatchers, Green Woodpeckers, and Curlew, among many others. The pastures, meadows, and pockets of woodland offer a serene backdrop, where livestock graze contentedly and wildlife flourishes side by side.
At its heart, Crabtree Farm remains a true family enterprise — hands-on, hard-working, and deeply connected to the landscape it nurtures. It stands as a celebration of traditional farming values shaped by modern, sustainable practice — ensuring the farm continues to thrive for generations to come.
