On the farm
We raise and rear our own livestock and are specialists in alpaca, you can purchase these along with a wide range of animals and products. We also advise on where to keep alpaca and how many you would need.
Alpacas
Our alpacas are at the heart of our business. They are beautiful and elegant animals who are interested and friendly while being independent and reserved, their fleece is soft, warm and beautiful. At our farm we breed, raise and sell alpacas.
Angora goats
Our angora goats are the feisty entertainers of our enterprise. They are the escape artists and the tangled bundles of joy which always cheer the days.
Their fleece provides mohair which is not only soft but full of crimp and sheen. Beautiful!
Sheep
At Broadlands Meadows Farm we keep the famous and very rare North Ronaldsay seaweed eating sheep and the even rarer Borerays. The under fibre of the “Ronnies” is very fine and very attractively coloured, from creams, to typically coffee browns, through to black.
Fibres
Broadlands Meadows Farm provides luxury fibres from our range of alpacas and angora goats. Alpaca fleece comes in natural shades of white, brown, black and grey but can also be dyed into powerful shades. Our spun yarns are generally sold in natural shades as the white yarn is fairly easily dyed to personal preference by knitters or weavers.
Fibre products
With such a fine selection of fibres it has been important to develop uses and examples of their strengths. Knitting and sewing, wet felting and needle felting are popular pastimes and once crafters see the products they are more aware of the infinite potential. We work to show knitted products, children’s items & clothing, felted garments and much more.
Working with people
Broadlands Meadows Farm warmly welcomes visitors ( by arrangement please ) and offers therapeutic time and activities for a variety of people needing that little something extra, different and beneficial.
We are proud to work with Farm Buddies based at Greatham, The Little School of Sheet and Albany Farm Care of Havant, and Fareham.
