Sometimes it’s difficult to assign farms to one specific category, as they run a mixture of different enterprises. Our Mixed Farms category includes farms that combine different types of production, often offering a mix of livestock, dairy, and crops. These farms can provide a diverse range of goods, from fresh milk, meat, and eggs to fruit, vegetables, and cereals.

It is always worth looking at farms near you that appear as Mixed Farms on our map, as they may well offer what you are looking for. You will also often find that farms assigned to a specific food category offer more than just their core products. For example a number of dairy farmers also offer beef at different times of the year, from cattle born and reared on the farm.

Like other farms, mixed farms sell directly to the public through on-site farm shops, local delivery services, or farmers markets.
