Small, distinctive and steeped in carefully balanced flavours.
Each quail egg is laid here at Cross Bank Farm, by quail with space to roam, then prepared by hand and pickled in small batches in our five-star food hygiene rated kitchen.
Small eggs. Remarkable flavour
From grazing boards and picnics to quick lunches and a well-stocked fridge, our pickled quail eggs add little moments of pleasure to everyday eating. Beautifully balanced flavours, small-batch made.Jars are released every Thursday at 10am
Our pickled quail eggs are made in limited batches using eggs laid here at Cross Bank Farm, so the flock sets the pace.
Each Thursday morning, a fresh batch is released. Once that week’s allocation has been snaffled away, ordering pauses until the following Thursday.
If patience is not currently one of your strengths, join the batch alert and we’ll give you a nudge when the next lot goes live.
Orders are prepared and dispatched Monday to Wednesday.
Our laying flock is growing, so availability will only get better from here but for now each order can include up to 3 jars of pickled quail eggs.
It simply helps us give more people a fair chance at getting their hands on a jar before they’re all snaffled up!
A different kind of farm experience
Less rushing.
More noticing.
There is something rather special about spending time somewhere that isn't trying to entertain you.
At Cross Bank Farm, our experiences are inspired by the quieter pleasures of smallholding life: learning something new, watching the animals go about their business, discovering the natural world and simply having time to yourself.
Whether you're considering a smallholding of your own, hoping to catch a glimpse of bats at dusk or longing for a few peaceful hours in the countryside, you'll find something a little different here.
Our experiences are deliberately small-scale and unhurried. This is a working smallholding, not a petting farm or visitor attraction. The animals remain part of their everyday surroundings, and the experience is about enjoying and understanding the world around them.
Fauna. Inspired by Life at Cross Bank Farm.
Some of our residents have become rather famous. At least, that's what they've been telling us.
Inspired by the real animals of Cross Bank Farm and the wonderful wildlife of the British countryside, Fauna is a collection of original illustrated gifts, clothing and accessories available through Absolute Legend.
Meet Smouldering Alun, Magnificent Mabel, Wonderfully Winnie, Handsome Henry and The Triplets, real characters with rather extraordinary personalities.
Because apparently, even the livestock need their own merchandise.
Each design is imagined, illustrated and developed here at the farm, inspired by the characters and occasional chaos of countryside life. Through distinctive artwork, clothing and gifts, Fauna brings a little piece of our countryside to yours, with plenty of personality and more than a little attitude!
