Ever wondered what halal living looks like in the heart of the English countryside?

Just outside Oxford, there is a place called Willowbrook Farm, where faith, family, and nature come together. It’s the UK’s first halal and tayyib farm, built by Lutfi and Ruby Radwan, a couple who left their city life (and university jobs ,Lutfi was a lecturer at Oxford) to follow a dream of ethical, faith driven farming.

More than twenty years later, their 45-acre farm is thriving. Chickens roam freely, sheep graze in open fields, and even an alpaca named Alpacacino keeps watch. Everything here follows the principle of tayyib, wholesome, natural, and kind.

For halal travellers and families, Willowbrook offers something truly unique. You can camp under the stars, enjoy scenic walking trails, or just relax while your children meet the animals and play in the open air. There is a small cafe and farm shop where you can enjoy fresh halal produce, free range eggs, and honest, home cooked food.

What makes this place special is how it blends British rural life with Islamic values, slow living, sustainability, and gratitude for what the earth provides.

If you’re visiting the UK or just need a peaceful weekend escape, make time for Willowbrook Farm. It’s more than a visit , it’s an experience that stays with you.
