VALLEY LAKES

From farming backgrounds and as newlyweds, Rory and Karen lived in Pear Tree Cottage in the late 1980s and then moved into the "main house" on Elton Farm in August of 1991 when Rory was appointed to manage the pasture fed dairy operation and Karen, the farm books. Since then they have developed the farm, together with their employees, and raised their two children and plenty of pets. Their son has "come home to roost" with his family and also shares in the work and growth of the mixed farming operation and family holiday destination that it is today.
