ANIMALS 

We are a working farm so you will hear animal noises at times, particularly at feeding time around 8:30am and around just before sunset.

The farm is home to a menagerie of animals including three friendly dogs. At times we will be out and about feeding animals and attending to jobs around the farm.

At present we have 3 friendly baby goats, which are just adorable and enjoy a pat or a cuddle.

Depending on the time of year you may even be lucky enough to view the birth of calves or lambs, which is very exciting
