Visit a real  working small farm

During our VIP Experience, you’ll accompany our farmer guide on their morning or afternoon feed and care round. This is your chance to meet all of our animals, assist in preparing their meals, and hand-feed many of them in their paddocks or homes. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with our friendly animals, pet them, and discover their unique personalities and care routines. It’s a hands-on, immersive experience that offers a behind-the-scenes look at farm life.             

Our VIP Experience lasts between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours. We take the time to answer all your questions and ensure you're fully engaged in our morning farm activities. Whether you're feeding, petting, or learning about the animals, we'll make sure you get the most from your time on the farm, offering a relaxed and thorough experience.

Our farmers will provide you with all the details about our animals, from their names and the story of how they came to our farm, to fascinating facts about each breed. They’re also happy to answer any questions you might have. You’ll have plenty of time to interact with some of our friendly animals and snap your own photos. Our animals love a selfie, and we’d love to see your pictures on social media—don’t forget to tag us! It’s always a delight to see the wonderful moments you share with our animals.

This experience is the ideal choice if you're seeking some exclusive time with our animals, whether it's just for you, your partner, or a group of family and friends. This private visit offers a personal and intimate experience with the animals, ensuring you get the most out of your time on the farm.

Who is the visit    Suitable for?

This experience is suited to children aged 3 years and older. However, when young children are in attendance, we may avoid going into paddocks with larger animals for safety reasons. Children under 3 can attend free of charge, but please be aware that we may ask you to carry them when we are around animals that tend to jump up. Your child's safety and comfort are our priority, and we want everyone to have an enjoyable visit!

Our land is on hills, and the paddocks can get muddy in wet weather, so unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs or pushchairs on the farm. However, if you wish to visit with a wheelchair, please email us in advance. We may be able to arrange for some animals to be brought to the barn or yard area, which is more accessible, allowing you to meet and feed them in a comfortable setting. We’ll do our best to make your visit as enjoyable as possible!
