FAQ
Q. Will I get to pick my own pumpkin?
A. Yes, you will get to pick it from a huge selection dotted around the filed, but as Pumpkins need to ripen, they have been pre cut, and lay to ripen, and harden on the ground in the field.
Q. Do I need to book?
A. No, no need to book. When we run out of pumpkins, that’s unfortunately it!

Lamb update for the 1pm Group from today; Saturday
**Friday Farm Update**
This weeks update is pretty much sheep themed! The lambing countdown is ON! We have sold out of all out Lambing Experience Tickets!! On the farm this week, Duncan has been giving all pregnant ewes their pre lambing vitamins, minerals and doses. We also had a little surprise in the shed, our first set of twins.... not premature... just a tup that couldn't resist jumping the fence back in October!! They are fit, healthy, and are in feeding.
We finally *FI...NALLY* have our polytunnel up!!!!.... The same polytunnel we were erecting in October, in the hope to provide shelter while you ate your pizza or yummy burger at Pumpkin Picking!! I'm pleased to say, its now up, cosy, and currently full of expectant sheep....but come October it will be transformed into a wonderful Autumnal hide out!
Our pool building is coming on leaps and bounds! Now with windows fitted and room partitions!! Very exciting!! Follow us on Instagram for daily news!
We've a busy weekend ahead, mainly feeding sheep.. But we're off to view our lovely pods in the Borders. I can't wait! Here's hoping the snow stays away?!
Have a good weekend :)

⭐️The last week on the farm ⭐️
So I thought I’d start a wee weekly Friday feature and update our Facebook page on all that has been going on! Many of you may only be following us for pumpkins... but when pumpkins stop, we keep going with so many other things!! And our biggest to date is just about to open!!! The pool & pods!
This week has seen the walls go up on the pool build. We’re super excited about this, as we can now see the size of the building-for real!!
... We’ve also finished scanning all our ewes. We’ve over 2000 lambs due come April and May. Many of our sheep are already inside getting looked after and fed all their vital minerals for growing a lamb and producing milk. Lambing tickets have all nearly gone!! Thank you so much to everyone who has bought some. Still some 9am slots left. Find them at www.arnpriorfarm.com
I’ve been busy designing the glamping pod interiors. Our aim is to make each one bespoke! Watch this space
Finally I’m getting ready to talk at a young entrants farming conference at murrayfield on Tuesday, outlining what we do on our farm and how diversifying has helped our business.
Pop over to our Instagram page “arnpriorfarm” for daily farm stories. Lambing time is almost upon us, so I must apologise in advance for the lamb spam!!! 🐏
