Allington Bar Farm
Chippenham, Wiltshire
Three generations of farmers
Our family have farmed at Allington Bar Farm, near Chippenham, as tenants, for 3 generations.
We farm approx. 700 acres at Allington Bar and in the local area, growing cereal crops, potatoes & grass and rearing Cattle, Pigs & Sheep.
We rear mainly traditional British breeds, using less intensive farming methods, we believe that because these breeds are slower maturing the meat has more flavour.

Beautiful Beef Cattle
Our Sheep
Our lambs are bred on the farm and are reared naturally on grass. We have mainly Suffolk & some of the continental Texel breeds of sheep. We lamb in two groups. We begin in January & lamb roughly 100 ewes. The second group lambs in early March & finishes in April. We lamb in these two groups to enable a consistent flow of lambs through the Farm Shop. The sheep are shorn in May or June, depending on the weather. The wool is then sent to the British Wool Board.

Our Terrific Turkeys
We offer both white & bronze turkeys here at Allington over the Christmas period. Our Turkeys come to us at an early age from Farmgate Hatcheries in Danbury, Essex. We also buy our turkeys from Rob Lunnon, a family friend, who farms at Lower Haydon Farm, Wells.
We've been growing potatoes for over 40 years
We grow approximately 12 acres of potatoes which supplies the Farm Shop with up to 200 tonnes of potatoes per year. The varieties that we harvest are Wilja, Maris Piper, Desiree, Cara & Marfona. To see which varieties are best for you, see below. Any potatoes which aren’t good enough to sell are fed to the cattle & pigs – nothing gets wasted!
