The Farm

Our child friendly farm provides children with the opportunity to experience farm life. Extended support is available for children with autism and other special needs. At the farm we offer:

Animal handling sessions.
Donkey rides.
Feed the sheep.
Bottle feed the lambs each spring.
Watch our ducks and hens (chicks at Easter).
Say hello to our goats.
Visit our little pigs.

The farm provides a wonderful opportunity for confidence to develop and for Early Years learning to take place supported by our range of EYFS activity packs and farm trails.

Come down to the barns twice a day to help feed and care for the animals then collect freshly laid eggs from our rehomed ex-battery hens who will provide plenty of entertainment for anyone brave enough to feed them worms or pasta! They lay fresh eggs for us every morning which our guests are welcome to come and help collect. Our eggs are available to buy from the farm house. For our morning helpers there is the added excitement of having a free donkey ride. For some of our older children, or indeed willing parents, our goats are always keen to be taken for a walk.

We also offer on-site hollistic treatments & therapies.
