ABOUT

Sarah’s family have farmed the verdant Tarrant Valley in North Dorset since 1929. Born and raised at Launceston Farm, farming has changed beyond all recognition since her childhood; with the barns that once housed heavy horses and seasonal workers, sensitively converted to luxury home stays and an events venue. Whilst Jimi and I spend our time herding cows and kids, we are all tasked with this incredible job of preserving, enhancing and sharing what we have and what we get up to in this perfect slice of Dorset countryside.
