Roebuck Farm Campsite

A butchery was set up on the farm where Dan processed the meat into retail packs for sale at the farmers markets.In 2003 Dan and his wife Charlotte bought Roebuck Farm , a 15 acre smallholding in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Purbecks, where they converted one of the existing barns into a state of the art butchery and commercial kitchen.Here they rear free range, rare breed pigs, which include their latest editions, the Berkshire Pig. They also produce Longhorn and Red Devon beef nearby and have local wild venison when available.Dan also tutors in the art of butchery and curing at Empire Farm, nr. Wincanton. And after going on several Salami Courses in Italy and England, his newest venture is 'Black pig charcuterie' where he is starting to produce Salamis and a range of air dried meats.CampingIn An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we offer a rural, secluded site on 6 acres of level and gentle slope, for camping from 25 July and throughout August 2012.Our position is ideal for exploring the Jurassic Coastline as well as many other places & attractions.
