The castle is built in hand-made red bricks as is the old part of our farm which dates back to 1760.
The green refers to the past as the whole area was full of water meadows so it was very green. there are old ice safes on the farm as they used to conserve it from the fields in winter..
120 people used to live and work on the farm - milking 60 cows -we now milk 400 (total of 1100 animals) and only 8 people work full time...
