Barfil Farm

Barfil Farm is a 144 hectare upland farm running traditional Galloway cattle, Blackface and Castlemilk Moorit sheep, pigs and hens. Maggie Gordon and Bob Lee have always been interested in conservation and as well as rare plants and native breeds of animals they use traditional farm skills such as working with heavy horses.

The farm buildings included standings for 5 heavy horse as well as a bothy for the single ploughman. The standings have been restored using an illustration from ‘Stephens’ Book of the Farm’ as a guide as well as what remained of the woodwork, the newel stones and the cobbled floor.

Special Event
Refreshments will be provided by Crocketford Village Hall Committee in aid of the Village Hall Restoration Fund.
