Llannant Farm

Welcome to Llannant Farm, a family-run regenerative mixed farm in Penyrheol, Swansea, since 1941. Every summer and autumn we open our fields for pick your own: sweetcorn and summer veg in August and September, and pumpkins in October. Every visit includes a free farm tour to meet our cows, ponies and tractors. We love showing people where their food comes from and why small family farms matter. We hope to see you soon.

History

The business was started in 1941 by William John Stevens "Jack Llannant" and then was taken over by his son Mansel. The farm has always had Dairy cattle, milking out of a very old stone cow shed as can be seen in the video below.

As well as small dairy herd, Llannant used to do some 200 sheep, pigs and also a fruit and veg round, which was started by Jack with his horse Ginger. With the veg round proving extremely popular with the local towns throughout the county, they had to switch the horse and cart out for a large Mercedes Van in the 70's and it was that van that worked right up until the mid 90's when we decided to stop with the fruit and veg and concentrate fully on Dairy and Beef.

Feel free to check out the old photos and I have added an old video that can viewed below.

Born in Neath in 1916, he moved to work on a neighbouring farm in the 30's before jumping at the chance to run his own farm when Llannant came up for sale in 1941.
