23/8/2021 35 Comments Upper Brook House Farm in 2021Dear all,
You may be surprised to read another blog post from the team at Upper Brook House Farm, after we supposedly ceased trading in September 2020. To begin with, that was, indeed, the plan! However, a solution was proposed to us which was beneficial for all of our staff members, and a buyout was organised. As a result, Upper Brook House Farm is still trading, and has been since the start of the year. For clarification, I am still responsible for Operations and running the main proportion of the business until September 2021, after which the organisation will temporarily cease trading until some point in 2022 - this is likely to be in June or July. During this period, our team will be working around-the-clock to ensure that the transition is smooth and effective, and that we can continue to bring you the best quality birds possible. I will continue to have a role within the business, albeit a more passive one, dealing with the operations faction, as well as devising the overall strategy and financial arrangements going forward. However, I am pleased to confirm that every other member of our team is continuing in their post. More details will be communicated to you in due course. Furthermore, we are pleased to confirm that our first show since the pandemic struck will be Staffordshire County Show on Wednesday 25th August. Several of our team members will be present, so please visit us and say hello! We will have a small number of birds available to purchase (subject to very favourable discounts), in addition to the main exhibition. Should anyone wish to meet with us at the show, please contact our Customer Support team in advance. It promises to be an enjoyable day for all of the family. In summary, it is fantastic news that Upper Brook House Farm will, once again, reopen its doors and supply some of the country’s most eager poultry-keepers, as well as international clients. We hope to release further information relating to the takeover in the coming months, so please ensure that you follow this blog page! Kind Regards, J W Shilton Managing Director, Upper Brook House Farm

Great, will you have any Ancona ducks for sale in 2022?

Thank you for your comment, Tommy. We do not currently breed Ancona ducks, however we will certainly look at this proposal in the future! Upper Brook House Farm is due to re-evaluate its breeds list and operations in the coming months, and we will inform you of any developments.

Hello, I have never purchased from you before, but would it be possible to speak to one of your employees over the phone? I would like to purchase some ducks, but I require some advice.

Thank you for your comment, Finley. Yes, we have some birds available at the moment - please visit our ‘Birds for Sale’ page on our website for a confirmation. We are unlikely to have any birds for sale until we reopen in 2022 after these ducks are sold, so please place an order promptly!
