Port Howard Farm runs 45,000 sheep. During the busy period between November and April of each year when lamb-marking and shearing takes place, virtually everyone in the settlement is involved in the work of the farm in one way or another.

The farm produces about 84,000 kg. of soft white wool each year with an average micron of 26.5. This wool, along with the rest of the Falkland Islands' 1.6 million kg. clip, is highly sought after around the world as its softness and feel adds quality to many inferior wools.

The farm has to be self-sufficient and many people wear different hats at
different times. There is a mechanic and a cook, a teacher with one pupil in the settlement school and even a Father Christmas who arrives by helicopter!
