Description and brief history
Egypt Farm was purchased by the vendor's family in 1966, and in their early years at the farm they ran a dairy herd and installed one of the first rotary milking parlours in the country. In subsequent years the farm had both pig and broiler rearing units, which continued to run until the last family member retired in 2010. More recently, much of the land and some of the outbuildings have been let to a local sheep farmer.
