About us and Byeburn Farm
Byeburn farm has been around, under various names, since the 1840s and we are lucky enough to have lived here since 2006. We chose to call it Byeburn because it's by a stream, aka burn in England/Scotland!

Our flock currently stands at 28 Jacobs (plus this year's lambs), who share their pastures with 3 llamas and 4 Shetland sheep. We also share our home with 5 dogs and a cat called Bob. Please e-mail us if you have any questions or want additional information about our products.
