Hello,
We are a family run sheep and beef farm in Cheshire, on the edge of the Peak District hosting seasonal events throughout the year. We, the Gilman family have been farming here for over 90 years, and are truly passionate about showcasing British farming and where our food comes from.

We met so many dogs, watched the talented James at work, watched a young pup in a pen with the sheep for the 3rd time ever, experienced developing an older pup, and then got to try our hand at working the sheep with a fully trained dog. So exciting. James, Jane and Martha are passionate about what they do and made it really interesting. Scrummy refreshments and a couple of very unexpected but gorgeous treats thrown in for good measure. They accommodated our 90 year old dad, a wheelchair and our mum (who has severe dementia) with discretion and great care. We couldn't recommend enough.

My kids have had an amazing day cuddling and feeding the lambs and have already asked to book us in for next year. I love being able to support local farmers too.

We absolutely loved the lambing event today, we were lucky enough to be able to watch one of the sheep give birth, held and fed the lambs, and got to hear about the huge team effort that goes in over the lambing season. Highly recommended - would have loved to have heard from the farmer for a bit longer, over the final part in the tent, but otherwise it was really excellent.🐑👌🏻

Had the best time at the sheepdog experience. Beautiful setting and was exceptionally organised by the family who went above and beyond. James, who ran the session is clearly extremely passionate and knowledgeable about sheepdogs and his enthusiasm was infectious for the whole group. Aside from the experience, a personal highlight was the gorgeous refreshments, provided by their very apt "Come Bye" horsebox catering van. Couldn't recommend enough!!

Today we attended the small group sheepdog experience which was a fantastic, hands-on opportunity to learn about sheepdogs and how they are trained. We spent a half day with James, Jane and Martha and were able to have a go at working various members of their Border Collie team at the farm, who are all lovely, home-bred dogs spanning many generations. We were also treated to delicious, locally sourced pastries and hot drinks which warmed us up during a cold morning on the farm!
Would recommend attending any of the events at Pye Ash and we will be sure to return again next time there’s something on.

We also have a suckler beef herd of Hereford cows. As well as the sheep and cows, we also have pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, bees! And lots of sheepdogs.
