Our June Open Day is very popular giving our local community the chance to come along to explore our 3-acre community farm, meet the animals, go pond dipping, enjoy craft activities and buy alpaca yarn and more in our pop-up shop. We also offer group visits for local youth groups and charities who want to learn more about nature and meet the animals. To arrange a special group visit please get in touch…
