Our Story

Owning a farm has always been a dream of ours. This dream came true when we moved from England to Scotland and The Highland Homestead was born. Our vision has always been to create a small farm that works with nature, being chemical free and using sustainable methods to ensure the health of our land and animals.

Both livestock and plants form the main heart of the farm. Animals are raised as nature intended to provide the best quality meat, eggs, dairy and handspun wool. The plants are essential to our permaculture based systems, feeding our animals, as well as producing wonderful fresh produce for our family and the local community.

Meet The Team

  • Amy

    Amy has a BSc Hons in Equine Science (Behaviour & Welfare) and lots of experience with a whole range of animals. She is currently completing her Master Herbalist qualification as well as a course in permaculture and has a keen interest in Fungi. Amy's main passion is her pigs, rare breeds and rainbow egg laying poultry. She hopes to use her herbology knowledge to create natural foraging systems that allow animals to self-medicate and reap the many benefits herbs provide. When not chasing toddlers around or maintaining our online presence she can be found talking to the poultry and giving the pigs belly scratches!
