Basil & and his mates arrived in 2019 and quickly became part of the Hirsel family. Though we lost Saffron and Basil in 2025, Ginger is still with us, and this year, we brought on two Large Black piglets for the summer. While the Large Blacks will join the food chain later this year, Ginger will continue her retirement at her leisure, a treasured member of the Hirsel family. If all goes well this summer with the large blacks, we may bring new pigs on to keep Ginger company, and restart our breeding program.
Rugs & Wool
In our early days, we were able to offer a limited number of sheepskin rugs for sale. Since our shearing and abattoir schedules have changed, we’re seldom able to offer sheepskin rugs anymore…BUT in 2026, thanks to the Highland Wool project, we’ll see the first Hirsel Hebridean wool being offered for sale. Processed right here on the farm, our wool will be sold as carded batts, ready for onward crafting into handspun yarn, rugs, felted items and more. For more information about Highland Wool, visit their website..
Farm and construction consultation
We offer a limited amount of local off-site ‘man & machine’ service, as well as consultation in the field of heavy lift design. For more information, visit this page.
Workshops and Farm Visits
Due to changes made during the Covid pandemic, formalized public visiting days have been put on hold. However, we’re always happy – if our work schedules allow – to talk to fellow farmers/learners over the phone/internet, and to schedule private visits during limited times of the year for those interested in learning about our sheep or farming methods. Making initial contact with Donna via email is best – info@thehirsel.com – as she handles our scheduling.
