Be sure to visit us this half term, lots to see and do, get reacquainted with Tinker and Digby (the orphan goat and lamb) now happily together on the outside bank.
We’ve had a bumper crop of spring babies here at the Farm this year, and not just lambs either – ‘beeping’ finch chicks, fluffy guinea-pig pups, some very vocal ducklings, and – at time of writing – 6 teeny-weeny baby bunnies, guaranteed to melt even the stoniest heart!
