Thank you to all who have visited though the Easter holidays, and for your understanding and co-operation with regard to the ground conditions. We will now be operating our termtime hours - open Friday/Saturday/Sunday afternoons 2-5pm with the picnic area open from 12noon.

Due to the severe ground conditions, the "off concrete" area of the farm is closed and we are unable to run tractor/trailer rides. All the animals are still able to be met and members of our team will try and help you park. We thank you for your understanding. Farmer Kiley

ADVANCED WARNING - due to the very wet weather, parking at the farm is likely to be an issue. We will assess the state of the fields in the morning. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused.
