If you want to buy a pig, then these are adorable. Also we have a set of new born twin calves - they are very cute. Amelia has 3 cade lambs, which you can feed when you visit - they were born on the 14th April. Also, Amelia has taken "Runty" under her wing, and Runty is a little tiny pig.

VISITS TO THE FARM This time of year is always EXCITING on a farm with baby calves and baby pigs and we now have some new piglets. When collecting your orders, you are very welcome to bring the children and their wellies, and take a look at the animals. Our cows are calving now, so we can look forward to the maternity ward being full, and NO sleep if a calf is due!! We are anxious owners, and try to check the cows every 2 hours if they are due to calve during the night. SCHOOL VISITS Pat has undertaken training to be able to take school trips around the farm, and it has been very rewarding to see the children's faces light up when they see the hens, cats and calves. We welcome visits all the year round, and interested teachers should contact the farm office - 01630 652178 for further information.
