About us

Hi! We are Jonathan & Juli; together with our two daughters Poppy & Daisy, we moved to Field House Farm in December 2008, as tenants of Garrowby Estate where we livestock farmed until diversifying into a campsite alongside the main farm.

We met whilst studying at Askham Bryan College in 1994 before going our separate ways until tying the knot and starting a family in 2001.

Like many others, over recent years we have challenged ourselves to become more sustainable and enhance our environment. We are grateful to live in such a beautiful part of the world and wanted to share our little hidden gem with others to also enjoy, and therein the campsite journey started.

Jonathan

Brought up on a dairy farm in North Yorkshire, I’m known to most people as “Shep” or “Farmer Shep”.  I am very much hands on around the farm and have pretty much built all the facilities on the site single handily whilst also driving a HGV through most weeknights.

Also brought up on a farm, I’m now kept very busy looking after Field House and supporting our daughters with their ponies. I also work for Halifax Estates as the Compliance Manager, endeavouring to keep the estate up to date with legislation in Health and Safety and HR amongst a multitude of other roles.
