Foxbury is a traditional mixed farm of some 750 acres (300 hectares). Lying in quite an exposed position at 300 feet on the south-eastern edge of the glorious Cotswolds the farm is just off the A40 between Witney and Burford.

We rear beef with our own suckler herd, lamb from our own flock, and Gloucester Old Spot pigs. Grass and barley are grown to support the free-range livestock. Some corn is also grown as a cash crop and some off-farm contracting fills the quieter farming months.

Visitors are very welcome at Foxbury - come and see us!

A few years ago, as diversification became essential to agricultural survival, we decided to market our own clean meat direct to the public. Out of this decision has grown a full-time, dedicated on-farm butchery and a farm shop selling our meat and an expanding range of other local and British products.

The shop now has 5 full-time and 7 part-time staff, whilst the farm has 4 full-time staff, which means that our decision to sell direct to the local community is paying dividends in terms of creating local employment. This is the reverse of current farming trends!
