Cruckley animal farm is a working farm. We raise bacon and pork pigs, calves, lambs, and miniature donkeys. We also produce geese and turkeys. Much of our stock is for sale including Buff Orpington, Speckled Sussex and Maran chickens, Longhorn, White Park, Beef shorthorn and Gloucester cattle, and a variety of pigs.

We specialise in the breeding of British Berkshire pigs many of which can be seen at shows and sales, we have won many prises for our stock in the last 25 years.We have also been approved by the RARE BREEDS SURVIVAL TRUST (RBST) since 1994 – the only farm in East Yorkshire to achieve this; so conservation is high on our list .

Since 2009 we have been working closely with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust to develop our floodland into a wetland area, which we hope in the next few years will attract a variety of wetland birds, animals and plants. This project is still in its early stages of planting but we are happy to report we do have a Carp pond with pontoon from which you can feed the fish. Here you can look out over the developing wetland which boasts beautiful country scenes in the Summer months, with a wild flower border and electric-blue dragonflies which dart across the water's surface. Maybe you could be the first to spot our visiting migrating birds?!!
