Oakview Farm is the main holding of a Beef and sheef unit based in Knighton, Powys. The business is run by the Pugh family – David & Christine and their sons Robert, Richard and Matthew. The sons have their own partners and families.
The business operates from three holdings – Treburvaugh, Great Marston and Oakview and will in time need to generate sufficient income to support 4 households.
The family have explored alternative income streams, to counter a recent reduction in turnover, and have identified a trading opportunity with Stockcroft Ltd to rear and finish high welfare commercial pigs for direct supply to Waitrose and M&S. This enterprise will be operated under contract with Stockcroft Ltd who will retain ownership of the pigs while the Pughs rear the stock from 4 weeks old (7kg) through to slaughter (110kg).
