A small farm, and staying that way

We opened in 2013 with a love of animals and the outdoors. From 23 November we're making the farm a little smaller and a lot more affordable, so we can keep welcoming families for years to come.

A shorter trail, the same favourite faces, and £5 entry for everyone. Every visit makes a real difference to a small business like ours. Thank you.

Love, Emily x
