Established in 2017, Ballakeenan Farm began when Farmer Tom took full ownership of a 150 sheep flock following a family's share farming agreement. Nestled in Jurby West, the tenancy farm spans 120 acres and is built on a foundation of careful land management, soil health and sustainability. Maintaining and improving the fertility of the land remains a cornerstone of everything we do. In January 2025, Ballakeenan Farm opened its gates to the public for the very first time. What started as a simple way to help raise funds for orphan lambs quickly grew into one of the Isle of Man’s most loved farm experiences, with sell-out experiences and visitors eager to connect with real farm life. Our goal remains simple, to share the magic of farming, educate visitors, and continue to grow and diversify, offering more unique, hands-on experiences that bring people closer to the land and the animals that live on it.
