About Us
High Snape Farm is a 3rd generation farm which comprises mainly of commercial sheep, a livery yard and contracting through Spring and Summer.
The very friendly Valais Blacknose Sheep came into our lives when Claire fell in love with ‘The World’s cutest sheep’ . We started off with just two gimmer lambs and quite quickly we now have a family of 30 plus. Each one has their own name, character and quirks, they love ginger biscuits and cuddles, we have to admit they are exceptionally spoiled but we think they deserve to be and we look forward to introducing you to them all and we wonder who will be your favourite.
We are now closed for winter, but we look forward to seeing you in Spring 2026
