About us

Our staff keep life at Lineham ticking over nicely. Meet them here.

Steve, Head

I’m the manager at Lineham. It’s my job to keep an eye on things and make sure everything runs smoothly. My four-legged assistants, Bobby and Charlie, follow me everywhere. You’ll meet them when you come.

Mike, Deputy

It’s a big job running a Farm as special as Lineham, so I give Steve a helping hand. My hobbies are taking the kids out on climbing expeditions and drinking Earl Grey tea. But not at the same time.

Arlene, Chef 

I’m in charge of food at Lineham – and we eat the healthiest, tastiest food ever. The kids love my ‘cookshop’ sessions – we have great fun, making delicious things to eat and talking about new, tasty meal ideas. Looking forward to feeding you!

Pauline, Chef

I help Arlene in the kitchen with the kids’ meals. All the animals on the Farm are great but I think the goats are my favourite – I sometimes give them treats from the kitchen (when Arlene’s not looking).

Becky, Domestic Star

The Farm’s a muddy place so it’s my job to help keep everything sparkling clean. I also help Arlene and Pauline in the kitchen when they’re busy.

Tamzin, Action Woman

I’m an outdoors chick. I run mountain biking and climbing session, and I love walking too. You’ve got to keep warm (did you know you can lose 40% of your body heat from your head?) and I’ve got a brilliant hat collection – my favourite is a pink one from Nepal.

Paul, Action Man

I work at Lineham running the kids’ biking sessions. I love cycling – I even cycle in to the Farm in the mornings. The kids love it when I take them through muddy puddles, the deeper and dirtier the better.

Richard, Animal Care

I like to fix things around the farm and look after all our animals. I love cycling with my family at the weekends. 

Helen, Environment  

The kids love learning about the environment as much as I love teaching it. I’m totally wild about wildlife – you should hear my brilliant birdsong impressions.

Jo, Environment

I work with Helen teaching the children about nature and introducing them to growing vegetables.  The best part is picking the produce and taking it in to Arlene in the kitchen to cook for tea.

Hannah, Events Co-ordinator

If there is a an event to organise I am your girl, I love organising and raising money at the same time.
I love drinking tea and eating angel cake too!

Penny, Admin / Finance

I work in the office with Hannah. Winters are always really cold at Lineham so spring is my favourite time of year, especially when all the lambs are born.

Hilary

I come to Lineham once a week as a volunteer, helping Hannah and Penny with the finances. I used to work in a bank so I’m pretty good with numbers.
