Meet the Family Behind jacksons at jedburgh: An Introduction

Hi, I’m Jasmine and I’m married to Fenwick, the farmer here at Kersheugh. Alongside raising our six children we farm 436 acres of land in the Scottish Borders. We also operate the Farm Experience Attraction, welcoming visitors to enjoy our farm from April - October each year.

As a family, we enjoy spending time together, cooking Sunday roasts, baking, and exploring the beautiful countryside that surrounds our farm, often spending summer nights camping under the stars not far from the house. I genuinely believe that we have created a life that we don’t need a holiday from. A life where we don’t dread Mondays or any other day of the week. Part of being able to create that is appreciating the beauty of all the little things in life, a mindset made that little bit easier by living in a place so full of nature and daily wonder.

Our farm is home to a variety of animals, including cows, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and highland cows. Surrounding the farm are thriving deciduos woodlands that are home to an abundance of Scottish wildlife. We love sharing our farm and it’s inhabitants - both livestock and wildlife, with visitors. Providing a glimpse into our way of life as a farming family. Our farm experience attraction is the perfect way to get up close and personal with our animals and to learn more about farming in the Scottish Borders.

Last but certainly not least, our children! An integral part of our team, they make us laugh, cry, rejoice and despair. They’re a little like Scottish weather, you never know what you’re getting next and you can have all types of ‘weather’ inside an hour. Most of the kids love to help out around the farm and those who are less keen on doing the farm jobs are still motivated to tag along because of the wages they can earn! From collecting eggs to bottle-feeding lambs, checking on newborn litters of piglets and standing in gateways to stop sheep going the wrong way, the kids are never far from the action.

We hope that this introduction has given you a glimpse into who we are and what we do. We look forward to welcoming you to Jacksons at Jedburgh and sharing our love of farming with you and your family.
