We are going ahead with the Hearth o'Knokrach Septemberfest, but have had to relocate to a new site in the Forest of Ae , close to Dumfries.
Tickets are now on sale.
It has been a traumatic year for upland farmers across the UK thanks to the foot and mouth epidemic, and especially so at Knockengorroch Farm. So far the local area has avoided any large scale culls but until recently has been very restricted. As you may know we reluctantly had to cancel our Mayfest as a preventative precaution. Just as everything was attempting to to return to normal and visitors had begun returning to Galloway, the flurry of outbreaks of the disease in nearby Hexham in Northumberland, proved that the epidemic was far from over. Although we had secured permission from the regional council, local farmers in the Galloway area continue to be very worried.
