Shepherd Huts to Fair Oak Farm

​It was a cold, dark and early start at 4.30am when we* left our workshop in Norwich, with two of our Poachers style Shepherd Huts in tow (That's our biggest Shepherds Hut, complete with an ensuite bathroom and shower) and made our way to Fair Oak Farm in East Sussex.

Having surveyed the track a couple of weeks before in order to check the access, we knew it would be a tricky one- It's a beautiful rural location with lots of narrow winding tracks and big looming mature trees and getting the huts in without scratching the paint or injuring any innocent plant-life would take a bit of skill and patience!

It wasn't long before we ran out of daylight and by the time the huts were in place it was pitch black! Rather than send us on the long drive home, Ian, the owner of Fair Oak Farm insisted that our team enjoyed a free night in the luxury grade II listed farmhouse!

​After a well earned drink and supper in the local pub, our team turned in for the night after what has been one of our most challenging and rewarding deliveries yet.

Stepping out of the farm house in the bright and frosty morning to see the Shepherd Huts in place, with the stoves already stoked made it all worth it! To book your stay, visit www.fairoakfarm.co.uk.

*I say "we", it was actually Craig, Rob and James. I personally got in at 8am and sat in my warm office, so can't really take credit.
