Tynybryn Farm

Tynybryn is a family farm in the heart of Mid Wales. It is farmed by John & Jean Jones their sons Tim and Dan, and Dan`s wife Janine.

It was established by Jean`s grandparents Dan and Florence Gethin in 1913. Jean`s parents Derek and Joyce Gethin took over in 1953 and John and Jean joined Joyce Gethin after Derek`s death in 1998. Sadly Joyce died in June 2004.

Tynybryn is a mixed farm. We have a commercial herd of mainly Belgium Blue cross and Limousin cross cows, with two small pedigree herds of Limousin and Charolais cows, producing bulls for the commercial herd.

The sheep flock of commercial ewes is made up of Welsh Halfbred, Welsh Mule and first and second Texel Crosses. We also have a flock of Pedigree Texel Sheep (Jonsland Texels) producing Rams for the commercial flock and to sell.

We are members of the Farm Assured Welsh Livestock scheme (FAWL) which means that our farm and farming practice have to be up to a certain standard. We have to have an annual inspection to keep this status. (See Farm History).

Also members of The National Scrapie Plan (NSP) for Great Britain.

We have joined the Tir-Gofal all-Wales Agri-enviroment scheme in March 2003. It is designed to deliver a high standard of environmental management on farmed land by protecting, enhancing, restoring and creating habitats and landscape features.
