A Short History & Heritage of Fferm CwmOnnen.
Registered 'Organic' Hill Farm.
In a few words it would be almost impossible to tell you our complete family story which reaches back many generations. However, I can tell you of today. From the peak of Yr Aran I have seen on a clear bright day, miles away to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and Cader Idris, the weather changes in minutes up there, suddenly to a white-out, or torrential rain, even blinding snow, as the temperature drops 15 degrees in as many minutes. Like my forefathers, all ten of them before me, I have suffered the anger and the softness of this fine mountain. For years we have walked the ridge, moving our ewes up or down the Aran, according to the seasons. Tradition Thomas Family CrestNever, have there been such changes in the markets for the produce from our dedicated Sheep Farm. The way we can sell on the 'Internet' is a major change in these mountains. My whole life has been changed - Even the way we face the challenge's of modern hill-farming would leave my ancestors speechless! In our North Wales valleys we missed the Foot and Mouth epidemic of 2001. However, there is more to worry about as we try to change our ways, to sell our produce direct. My forefathers would never have imagined it possible - that from our family farm, a descendant, a grandson ten times removed, would be able to sell our beautiful tasty produce direct. What is even more of a fundamental change is that we sell and deliver fresh Organic Aran-Lamb to any part of the United Kingdom, in most cases on next-day delivery. You can be sure, Aran Lamb is a total quality 'organic' product. I am looking forward to sending some to you often. 2002 was my first successful year, on the Internet, when I sold out of my 'limited edition' lambs. Remember, you can save the delivery charge and have a day out, to meet me, and collect your order. We are only 4 hours away from anywhere with modern motorway's. You are always welcome. Thank you very much. Or, as we say in Welsh ~ 'Diolch yn fawr'. ~ Maeldwyn Thomas.
