About The Hampshire Shepherd
Welcome to The Hampshire Shepherd, where our farming journey began in the early 90s with Iain, a determined first-generation farmer driven by a passion for agriculture. What started as a traditional mixed farming operation has grown into a family business centred on our sheep, and today we are proud to farm at Little Church Farm in Mattingley.
Katie was at the heart of The Hampshire Shepherd for many years, and today Iain and their sons, Joshua and William, continue to build the business she helped to create. Alongside our flock, our shepherding and contracting work and our farm shop, we remain committed to ethical, sustainable farming and to high-quality, locally produced food you can trust.

Professional Shepherding
Shepherding services, mainly for small flocks, have always been an integral part of our business. We provide professional shepherding throughout Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex, from shearing, foot care and worming to vaccinations, transport and holiday cover for your flock.
Agricultural Contracting
Another cornerstone of our business is agricultural contracting, focused on grassland maintenance for horse owners and smallholders across Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire. From topping, harrowing and rolling to re-seeding, hedge cutting, fencing and hay making, we can help with all of your land management needs.
Supplying lamb to the catering trade
At The Hampshire Shepherd, we take immense pride in offering top-quality lamb products specifically tailored for fine dining restaurants, gastro pubs, and traditional butcher shops. With a focus on providing high-quality, locally sourced lamb, we aim to be your trusted partner in delivering an exceptional dining experience to your discerning clientele. Our commitment to ethical practices, sustainability, and supporting local and seasonal produce sets us apart.
