Penbugle Organic Farm Glamping, Liskeard (2025)

11/02/2025

🥚 Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Well, here at Penbugle Organic Farm, it’s both! We’re proud of our organic eggs. But we’re just as proud of our hens.
🥚 We have six flocks of hens, kept in mobile free-range sheds, and with access to hectares of lush pasture to do all the things chickens like doing: having dust baths, scratching, pecking, gossiping … and of course, laying beautiful organic eggs.
🥚 Unusually, we rear all our own chickens, which is much more labour intensive, but which we believe is ultimately much less stressful for the chicken.
🥚 Once again, organic accreditation ensures the best quality, and the best welfare standards. You look at our bright-eyed girls with their firm, red combs (the funny bit on top of their heads), proving just how ‘full of beans’ they are.
🥚 We supply health food shops around Cornwall, local restaurants, farm shops, delis and one of the ‘high end’ supermarkets. You can buy a little piece of Penbugle from our egg table at our farm gate!

January ... A Time to Scan

So January is a busy month for scanning.

This is done in exactly the same way as humans ... with a full bladder!

The ewes have it a bit easier as their abdomen is scanned while they are standing and the gadget is moved around their tummies.

We can then hopefully tell how many lambs she’s expecting.

This can vary a great deal, from singles, twins, triplets … or empty, which is what we call ewes that aren’t pregnant.

For our ladies to be in great condition when lambing season begins, they begin a special pre-lambing diet, which is altered according to how many lambs they are expecting.

This stretches in February and is the calm before the storm.

📘A Bookworm’s Guide to Cornwall – Five Ways to be Inspired!
🙌 Cornwall has inspired authors for decades.
Their resulting novels are the perfect way to capture the spirit and splendour of Cornwall.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Here’s five we’d recommend – and of course, you can stay with us and experience ‘the real thing!’
📘 For an epic saga on both page and screen, Poldark is hard to beat.
Starting in the late 1700s, this vast story of love, betrayal and copper mines captures the endless intricacy of Cornish politics and history.
📘 Rebecca
An enduring Gothic tale of mystery, love and the power of the sea are beautifully captured in Rebecca, written by Daphne du Maurier.
📘The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher tells the story of Penelope Keeling, who, following a bout of illness, examines her past against the stunning backdrop of the Cornish countryside and coast.
📘If you love a bit of mystery, then The Lighthouse by PD James is one for you. Part of the Adam Dalgliesh series, the detective investigates the death of a famous writer on a remote and inaccessible island off the Cornish Coast.
📘And it’s not just grown-up authors who’ve been inspired by Cornwall! The Mousehole Cat, written by Antonia Barber, is an atmospheric tale of Old Tom, a Cornish fisherman, and his cat Mowzer, who bravely faces the wrath of Great Storm-Cat in order to save their village. With beautiful illustrations by Nicola Bayley, this is a classic tale for younger (and older!) fans of Cornwall and its complex maritime heritage.

💙 Tasty Food in Cornwall!

Cornish Pasty
Perhaps Cornwall’s most famous dish! This is a pastry pocket filled with tasty morsels such as diced beef, onion, potato and turnip. The edge of the ‘pocket’ must be crimped too. Tasty and satisfying!

Cornish Yarg
With around 60 varieties of cheese produced in the county, Cornish Yarg is perhaps the best known.
Cheese lovers have likened it to Caerphilly in terms to flavour, but the distinctive feature is the edible rind, made from dark nettle leaves.

Cream Tea
Well, not just found in Cornwall, obviously, but surely an indulgence not to be missed!
A freshly baked scone, a smothering of (homemade) jam with a dollop of cream on top. Delicious!

Hevva Cake
Sometimes called the Cornish heavy cake, this indulgent dish includes lard, flour, butter, milk, sugar and raisins.
With links to the fishing industry, the cake traditionally has a criss-cross pattern on top (symbolic of the fishing nets).

Pilchards
An oily fish, sometimes called the Cornish sardine, these silver-scaled creatures have formed a huge part of Cornwall’s heritage, with numerous delightful fishing villages making a living at one time or another from catching them. Great grilled!

Saffron Bun
A rich bun including currants and with the distinctive yellow colour that is derived from using the spice saffron.
Saffron is most expensive spice in the world and has a distinctive metallic flavour.
Stargazy (or starrey gazey) Pie
Could be considered an acquired taste – pilchards, egg and potatoes, covered with a pastry ‘lid’ before being baked to perfection.
The pilchard’s heads are supposed to peer out of the pie crush, too.

Now all you need to do is visit us and enjoy this edible delights!

🌳 Penbugle Organic Farm – Our Journey

So, one day we were gathered around our kitchen table, cups of tea in hand, and someone said: “Shall we go organic?”

We’re not even sure who said it first, but that was the start of our journey.

When a farm decides to take the organic route, it takes two years to convert.

We decided to go the ‘whole hog’ and convert both our land and our livestock. That meant 24 months of converting both at the same time.

This includes the Donhead Herds of pedigree South Devon and Red Ruby Devon cattle that graze in our pastures and our Lleyn and Polled Dorset Sheep.

And if you’re a regular reader of our blog, you will know we also have our lovely organic free-range eggs, laid by our cheerful chucks.

While we’re still not sure who was crazy enough to suggest it given our variety of livestock … that said, we’ve never looked back!

Penbugle Farm is 260 acres belonging to the Duchy of Cornwall estate and is fully organic.

It is home to the Cornshire herd of red Ruby Devon cattle calving each Spring to produce grass fed, organic beef and breeding stock to sell direct and to other markets.

In addition we have native breed sheep based on the Lleyn breed which is crossed with New Zealand Suffolk and Texel genetics for a low input grass system, lambing outside in March & April each year, producing grass fed lamb and commercial breeding stock.

Last but not least, we have 6 flocks of 2000 laying hens in mobile free range houses which produce beautiful free range organic eggs.

There is also our small Cornshire herd of rare breed native Dales ponies with foals on the farm, and various other 4 legged friends.

We’re passionate about what we do. We love farming and believe when it comes to making good food choices, information is the key.

We know for example, that organic food can be slightly more expensive (not always) so have a good look round to find out more information about us, what we do and why we do it.
