Meet The farmer
My name is Abbe, I have owned this farmland since 2021, firstly, moving my horses in the May of that year as Mr French kindly allowed me before papers had completed to give my 2 rescues somewhere to live and graze.
I then ventured to get hens and ducks, which was all very new to me, however, I had the thirst for learning, However, making plenty of mistakes along the way. I started to raise my own hens, and for me that's where my love of chickens started. Watching them hatch and grow up is the cutest thing ever; I thought I was god creating life 😂.
Since then, I have had physical fights with fox and many storms, Tree falling on newly built hen houses, there is nothing this farm hasn't chucked at me that I haven't overcome.
As a single mum and skipped generations farmer, you have to have resilient attitude. I remember my nan telling me about how she was younger and working on a farm in Bideford during the war as a land girl and thought well if Nan can do it, so can I.
In 2023 I decided that goats would be a lovely addition to the farm, I have a variety of goat breeds, Some are rescues that have come from homes who cannot care for them but mostly I have paid in full for the joy of owning the rascals.
Jean Paul my buck arrived along with some does from Occombe farm, Gina and Pepper, it wasn't long before they mated, In may 2024 Tink and Wilbur were born and now this year we have Rocky and Beau Beau, That 11 goats in total, who live happily sharing the land with the horses.
I come from the Wright family who lived in the villages, Codnor cottages, taplow and rose cottage, along with once on haccombe, They were known as the thatchers of the village, so they may have thatched the cottages I see daily.
In my spare time I write books about royal genealogy, history and sell the books of my late father Nicholas Devere. Through this research I found that we had many connections to the village, through my great grandparents the Courtenays and the Devere's who owned haccombe manor along with the cousins carews, I found it quite warming that I had found myself back in ancestral lands.
Now I live in the village, I had found a cute little cottage with an amazing landlord who loves my cakes, I have made some lovely friends. Everyone has really welcomed myself and family which I massively appreciate.
I sell organic eggs from my girls at Cluckingham Palace, They've gone down a storm with the neighbours and usually sell out on the day, some people pre-buy, reserving which I deliver to their house free of charge before I put a batch out on the door sales.
