Meet Horner Farm

We are Horner Farm, a small family farm with a large vision to showcase positive model of farming while producing sustainable produce from our farm. We took over the farm tenancy in February 2018 so we are still at the very beginning of our journey.

We farm with nature by rebuilding diversity using regenerative farming techniques. A healthy soil leads to a healthy ecosystem for our livestock, environment and local community. We are building a carbon negative business ensuring our farm has a positive impact on our environment.

We produce Beef, Lamb, Hogget and Kid Goat focusing on allowing our livestock to grow at their own pace not feeding grains to push for results but allowing the livestock to browse and graze utilising nature’s diversity while focusing on slow growing native breeds to achieve a beautiful flavour and texture.

We host three seasonal feasts a year to showcase and celebrate local seasonal produce. The farm courtyard opens for woodfired pizza every Friday evening from May, where you can relax with friends in an informal setting while enjoying pizza with seasonal toppings.

Our Winter Feast is the 22nd of February and will be £35 a head including the first drink followed by 3 courses showcasing seasonal produce.  

Horner Farm will be having a stall at the Taste Exmoor Food & Drink Fair on 29 Feb/ 1 March 2020 at Porlock Village Hall.

Meats boxes are available to order direct from the farm 01643 862757/ hornerfarm@hotmail.co.uk

Bake Me Crazy

Hello! We are BakeMeCrazy home bakers knocking out delicious homestyle bakes with a little of our own BakeMeCrazy pizzazz! Based in the wonderful village of Porlock we aim to create delicious treats using locally sourced ingredients where we can. Since our launch in January of 2019 we have been beavering away to create a brand that is modern, fun and a little bit different, creating our own recipes with a nod to some classic bakes and finding a style of bake that would have Paul Hollywood offering a coveted handshake. We aim to please all our customers 100 per cent of the time and will work directly with them through concept and design to that all important first mouthful. 2019 has been a steep learning curve for the BakeMeCrazy crew juggling festivals, market stalls and country fairs in and around the west country and processing our orders for local stores but we wouldn’t have changed it for anything, 2020 will be a great year for BMC and we encourage you to come along for the journey, it will be crazy!

We very much look forward to seeing you at the Taste Exmoor Food & Drink Fair at Porlock Village Hall on 29 Feb/1 March 2020 and hope you stop by for a chat and see some of our delicious creations.
