Gathman's Cottage - The Farm

     

Baumber Park is a working mixed family farm growing a variety of crops and with a herd of beef cattle.
Cereal growing predominates with wheat grown for animal feed and biscuit making. The soils at Baumber suit the production of quality malting barley for the brewing industry. Other crops grown are peas for the frozen pea industry, oilseed rape refined for vegetable oils and sugar beet for manufacture of sugar products.
110 beef cows calve indoors in early spring. They graze and suckle their calves in the parkland that surrounds the property and on meadows and nature reserves elsewhere within the county. All the calves are reared on the farm and sold locally. Within the herd there are pedigree Lincoln Red cattle. A small flock of Lincoln Longwool sheep, also pedigree, that lamb in April is also maintained.
