The Tile Family has been farming at The Bairnkine since 1987.

Before marrying Matt, Lucy came from a town background and faced a steep learning curve. She embraced her role as farmer's wife, learning sheep husbandry, how to drive a tractor and much more. Lucy has a wealth of stories about her life on the farm.

Matt, originally from an arable farming background, had to adapt to cattle and sheep farming. As a family we have committed to organic farming over many years and have undertaken significant conservation work including planting miles of hedges and planting over 30,000 trees.

Over the years we have converted two farm cottages into holiday cottages; Wild Rose and Owl Cottage and have developed a CL Site for caravans and motorhomes. Our latest venture is Bairnkine Farm Tours.

We love sharing our farming story with our guests and look forward to welcoming you to The Bairnkine.
