TREGAMINION & BRUGGAN FARMS
Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall
Our farms
For over 500 years, the Richards Family have farmed on the Lizard Peninsula.
Our 'home farm', Tregaminion, is situated near St Keverne and primarily run by Roger. It's here that you'll discover our pedigree herd of Ruby Red Devons and our Christmas tree plantation- we are the most Southerly Christmas tree farm in Britain!
Just 9 miles away, above the picturesque fishing village of Cadgwith, Roger's son James manages our larger farm, Bruggan.
Bruggan was once an intensive dairy farm, but over the past 20 years James and Roger have been working to develop the soil quality and enhance the habitats of wildlife found naturally in this area of Cornwall. They were thrilled to receive recognition for their efforts with the Duke of Cornwall award for sustainable farming in 2025.
Our animals
We primarily produce beef cattle. Pedigree Ruby Red Devons (the 'Pralla herd) live alongside our commercial herd of mixed Limousin, Belgian Blue and Aberdeen angus breeds. Our cows are all born and raised here on the farm and we are proud to sell some of our beef to the local community via meat boxes.
Ruby Reds are famed for the high quality and delicious flavour of their meat, and the ease with which they grow in a low energy input system. This means that our cattle thrive on a diet of almost 100% grass and are perfectly suited to the wind-swept climate we have here on the Lizard peninsula.
Our Shropshire sheep joined us in 2017 and are used to graze our grass in rotation with the cows, ensuring the health of our pastures and soils. We sell our sheep as hogget (lambs over 1 year old) through our meat boxes. Lambing time is usually between January and March- look out for lamb spam on our social media accounts during this time!
