Welcome
Welcome to our website. This website was created to showcase our family run regenerative mixed farm in Swansea, South Wales. Hopefully it will help to promote smaller family run farms across the country and show just how important it is to back British Farming. Feel free to leave a comment and we hope you like the website.

History
The business was started in 1941 by William John Stevens "Jack Llannant" and then was taken over by his son Mansel. The farm has always had Dairy cattle, milking out of a very old stone cow shed as can be seen in the video below.
As well as small dairy herd, Llannant used to do some 200 sheep, pigs and also a fruit and veg round, which was started by Jack with his horse Ginger. With the veg round proving extremely popular with the local towns throughout the county, they had to switch the horse and cart out for a large Mercedes Van in the 70's and it was that van that worked right up until the mid 90's when we decided to stop with the fruit and veg and concentrate fully on Dairy and Beef.
Feel free to check out the old photos and I have added an old video that can viewed below.
