Our Farm: A Rich History

Welcome to Abbington Farm, where our history is as rich as the soil we till. Situated in the picturesque countryside between Edinburgh and Carlisle, our farm has been a staple of the local community for over a century.

Early Beginnings

Founded in 1898 by John and Mary Smith, Abbington Farm started as a small homestead with just a few acres of land. The Smiths worked tirelessly to cultivate the land and build their dream of a thriving farmstead.

Growth and Expansion

Over the years, Abbington Farm grew into a bustling agricultural hub, with the Smith family expanding their operations to include livestock, crops, and dairy production. The farm became known for its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

A New Era

In 1985, the farm passed into the hands of the Johnson family, who continued the tradition of excellence established by the Smiths. Under their stewardship, Abbington Farm evolved into a modern agritourism destination, offering visitors a chance to experience the beauty and bounty of rural life.
