Our family has farmed the land at Broad Close Farm for over half a century. Nestled in the rolling hills and woodlands to the west of Barnsley three generations of the Charlesworth family have farmed here and the fourth generation is eagerly following in our farming traditions.

Still a working farm we specialise in the rearing of rare breeds and are passionate about making them part of our landscape as they would have been hundreds of years ago.

Our cheeky Tamworth pigs forage and live as they would in the wild in our ancient woodland. Our clever Dexter cattle can be seen chewing the cud and whiling away the time with our sheep and lambs as they graze in our surrounding lush fields.

Our real star though is Lorenzo the llama. His job is to guard the sheep from dogs and foxes. Although not violent he takes his job very seriously and is always ready to scare away any marauder.
