Dunsbury “A taste of lamb”
Susannah Seely owner of
Dunsbury Farm thought that

traders & hoteliers from across
the island. Joining Susannah on
the day were Keith Hamilton,
the butcher and Steve Fruin the
shepherd.
Susannah explained, “As there is

prepared.
“We hang them for 10 days,
something that is not guaranteed on
the mainland. Dunsbury also hand

already made a name for our 6V
