They have been at Park House now for 30 years.Their son Paul works on the farm together with one member of staff - David.They also have two daughters Rachel and Nina. The farm has three enterprises,beef cattle, sheep and 'Pick Your Own'. The beef enterprise is built round a hundred suckler cows mainly stablisers which were bred in America for its eating qualities. About 200 store cattle are also purchased. There are 1200 ewes who lamb mainly suffolk but with a couple of texel tups. The 'Pick Your Own' started back in 1983. The two acre walled garden at Levens Hall was where it all started as nothing grew there but nettles and discussing it one day, Gordon suggested a PYO enterprise and the venture started off with a bang. After considerable research the family bit the bullet and put in nine more acres at Parkhouse farm.The pick your own produces strawberriers, raspberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants and gooseberries.
The farm also sells lamb through Levens Hall Estate Produce click here to view website www.levenshallproduce.co.uk
