The Cradock family have been mixed farming in the village of Hilperton since 1933, Robert Cradock and his brother, took on Manor Farm from their father Albert Edward (Ted) During the 1970’s. In 1985 after selling off the farm and its land, Robert and Son Ian bought 40 acres back. Today the farm has grown and the 300 acres of New Barn Farm is run by Ian and his 2 sons Benjy and Ashley.

The workshops are very much the active part of the farm, maintaining the farm machinery and supporting other local agricultural businesses with their requirements.
