Hardstones Farm

Hardstones Farm We are a family ran sheep farm in County Durham. We currently run a flock of just under 2000 breeding sheep.

Our aim is to help provide learning material for all and to welcome the next generation for educational trips via local schools.

644 sheep sheared today 💪

Not by us - we certainly aren't that good 😂.

One minor kick to the face (I'm sure I'll have a black eye tomorrow!!), but we will be doing it all again tomorrow 🫡

My husband doesn't have to worry about me buying nice shoes, fancy handbags and expensive makeup... But Dutch spotted sheep seem to be a problem for me 😂🙊

Welcome to the flock girls 😍

With 28 sheep left in the shed, the end is near for lambing 2026 🥳

It's been a long few months!
Chuck in a family holiday, knee surgery, family birthdays and over 200 pet lambs safe to say I'm over it 😂

We've had some fantastic students this year who have certainly lightened the load for us - you know who you are ⭐

I will continue to share farming content throughout the year for anyone interested ❤️

We have been lambing for 85 days straight at this point (minus 5 days off for a family holiday and 4 days off for a knee surgery!).

So getting little boosts can make a massive difference to my mood come the end of the day. One of my final spotty girls of the year to lamb has had a stonking gimmer lamb (female). And isn't she just beautiful 🥹
