Alun and Nerys Davies were at a smallholders Fair when they fell in love with their first Zwarbles.

Zwarbles? It's a breed of sheep from Holland that once seen, isn't easily forgotton, as their story proves. "We saw one shearling and bought her completely on a whim,  We Hadn't gone expecting to bring anything home and even had to put her in the back of the car!"

Nine years on, they have 25 of the unusual, stripey black and white ewes at their 306-acre National Trust Farm, in the hills between Betws-y-coed, Ystbty Ifan and Penmachno.

"The meat is gorgeous, really sweet and not to fatty, which makes it quite healthy."

Soon it will be Organically certified as the farm is undergoing organic conversion.

Along with the Zwarbles. Alun and Nerys keep 150 Welsh mountain sheep. The 330 year old farm is also home to a very successful stud with Welsh Cobs and rare Irish Drafts.

The couple along with 12 local farming families are currently selling their lamb direct.

"We want to be sustainable, especially as we both work in conservation. As part of that, all the lamb we sell is packaged in wooden boxes, insulated in wool".
