Ancient origins and our farming predecessors 

There have been people living on the foreshore at Gullet Farm since 1632. The original sites of the buildings formed a small fishing hamlet, but there is little information about who was there from the beginning. However, it is our intention to continue the historical research, and understand further the lives that brought us our oasis on the hills. 

The 1841 census recorded the first official residents at Gullet Farm as the three brothers Garland, along with their families and six farmhands. In the 1920s, the land was bought by an American family who lived at Gullet for three generations.

A lasting resilience

Over the course of its nearly 200-year history, Gullet Farm has evolved, including a period of abandonment in the late 1800s, and has time and time again resurfaced more vibrant than ever before. A testament to the tenacity of both the land and its inhabitants.

Modern values we continue to live by

Our sprawling 200-acre estate is reminiscent to a simpler time, featuring the same historical farmhouse that generations of farmers have called their own since 1840. We’re proud that it continues to act as a familiar and enduring centre for our wooly creations.

Together, we’re preserving our ‘close to the earth’ way of raising sheep, as it continues to produce beautiful wool for discerning modern knitters.
