VISITS TO THE FARM This time of year is always EXCITING on a farm with baby calves and baby lambs, and we now have some new chickens and pigs. 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. Thank you to all of you who have written to say what a wonderful days you had.

In addition to school visits, we can also offer work mid-week work experience courses for adults. For prices, please call the office. Why not try your hand at being a farmer for a few days on a course - its full board, good company, and very enjoyable. Of course, Park Hill's Pigs are the great excitement - don't forget to get your orders in early - we don't have many half pigs to sell!
