2024 Lambing Open Days
Open during the Easter holidays only.
Broadlees Farm is not an ‘Open Farm’ but a Farm that opens to the public to educate and inform.
Broadlees farm is in the Higher Level Stewardship Scheme to conserve and enhance the chalk grassland on the North Downs.
Farmer, Simon Phillips owns a 200 acre grassland farm and rents a further 300 acres with wife Elizabeth and daughters Katie and Sophie in Dover.
It is very much a family farm with the grassland being used for hay production and grazing the 400 Suffolk X flock.
Our main business is supplying the equestrian market with high quality conventional, round and big square bales of hay, straw and haylage and we also have 400 ewes producing fat lambs marketed throughout the year.
Our land is also available for events throughout year.
We also have an area of the farm which is a “Site of Special Scientific Interest” on which butterflies and orchids grow. No fertilisers or sprays are applied to these areas and they are farmed to improve their biodiversity.
We take our responsibility to look after the countryside very seriously.

Hello to my little flurry of new followers. I’m Sophie! I help manage my Parents Farm on the White Cliffs of Dover. We have over 400 Suffolk X flock and run a very busy hay and straw business. With a few cheeky diversifications along the way! ![]()

The hat and waterproofs are finally off. You could pack for two weeks in the eye bags but I’m starting to feel a little more refreshed. I struggle with the days following the lambing and Open days. My structure and routine for the last 8 weeks has been set and now I need to find a new one. Anyone else thrive on routine? ![]()
