Monastic Life
arm

Faithful to St Benedict’s dictum that we are truly monks when we live by the work of our hands, the monks operate a small farm as part of their outdoor manual work. Two herds of cattle are reared for sale and for beef. These are rare breeds, British White and Irish Moiled. In addition to the cattle, we keep several hundred chickens, rare breed pigs, and sheep. Father Abbot is responsible for our apiary.
