Jimmy's Farm

Ali Ray says: Jamie Oliver’s friend Jimmy Doherty is famous in his own right thanks to having his own TV show, and has now opened up his picturebook 100-acre Jimmy’s Farm to visitors. Children love the nature trails, the Butterfly House and looking for eggs in the ‘chicken safari’, while grown-ups can learn about butchery. Jimmy has more than 500 pigs and specialises in rare breeds such as British saddlebacks – you’ll see them roaming the woodlands sniffing out chestnuts and wild berries. Scoop up some award-winning sausages and hickory-smoked bacon from the shop for brekkie. But also make time for a pint of Jimmy’s Flying Pig bitter and a saddleback burger in the fragrant, herb-scented Field Kitchen.
