We have created a soulful, peaceful space at Rosebud Ranch using our passion for connection with animals, simple off-grid living and love for the American Wild West.
On a road trip through South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska, we met ranchers and the Lakota Sioux people on the Rosebud + Pine Ridge Reservations.
There we spent many memorable and special moments that remain close to our hearts.
We’re Lucy and Nick,

surrounded by our beautiful ANIMALS, we live ON a ranch IN the hills of north devon.
In USA and Canada, we learnt about the beauty of Western riding, this was when we became western riders and fell in love with the Western style horse tack.
From our travels, we want Rosebud to be a place of connecting with the raw beauty and the peaceful surroundings of North Devon. We want people to enjoy the company of our sweet alpacas, hug our friendly sheep and connect with nature.
With a background in Horticulture and interior design, the practices have been used beautifully in cultivating the calming and grounding energy of the farm whilst keeping everything simple and fuss free.
Our values centre around nurturing the mind, body & spirit. After many years of looking after the herd, we have enjoyed the feelings of relaxation. In the past, we have held events such as yoga, meditation and mindfulness in the alpaca paddock - it has been a success in soothing the souls in our space.
In a background full of agricultural practices, being surrounded by animals, and the desire for connecting with nature, we made the big move to Devon in October 2017. On our farm, we have our wolfdog, 2 cats, our alpacas, sheep, Chic the American Quarter horse and Cassie the Spanish Mustang.
Being as green & sustainable as possible is one of our lifelong aims. We want to farm organically so we grow our own vegetables and feed our horse pasture using the alpaca droppings - which has become highly sought after as it can go straight from alpaca to garden. It is great for no-dig gardening and other methods of permaculture.
