The Philpot family started farming in 1937 on Potton Island, with just 10 acres of arable land. Today, after three generations of Philpot farmers, careful strategic planning, land management and business diversification, the Philpot family now farms a total of 12,800 acres in Essex and Suffolk and one of South East England’s most popular educational farming and craft centre attractions – Barleylands.

At the Farm Park you can meet friendly farmyard favourites, enjoy the bumpy tractor and trailer ride around the Equestrian Centre, let off steam in the indoor play barn, explore the discovery centre, watch birds of prey flying displays and so much more.
