Easter Animal Day - Saturday 30th March

We are holding an Easter Animal Day on Saturday 30th March where you'll have the opportunity to come and see our lambs, pigs, and Easter chicks (weather depending!). 

We also have local falconer Frankie Hunt bringing along a few of his birds of prey for a handling session where you will be able to handle the birds and have your photograph taken with them. 

We're hoping the weather cheers up a bit for the Easter weekend and hope to see you for a fun day out :)

New Arrivals on the Farm

Hello,

Whilst the weather may not feel very spring-like at the moment, spring has definitely sprung down on the farm with many new animal arrivals. Lambing season has started with new born lambs popping out left right and centre!





Sometimes when a ewe has more than two lambs she doesn't have enough milk to feed all three (sometimes four or five!) sufficiently. When this happens we have to top up the lambs milk supply using milk formula to make sure the lambs thrive:

We've also had a new calf born in the last couple of days who is doing very well:




We're having a Easter Animal Day on Saturday 30th March where you'll get the chance to meet some of this years lambs and chicks :)
