We've got two birthdays to celebrate today – our Farm Manager Sam and Farmer Ian! πŸŽ‰πŸ°

Sam is not only celebrating his birthday today but also an incredible 5 years at the farm! As the friendly face of our petting farm, he's always on hand during feeding sessions, helping with school visits, answering guests' questions, and generally being an all-round superstar.

Farmer Ian is also celebrating his birthday today! As well as running the commercial side of the farm, he's often found chopping carrots ready for the animals' feeds and welcoming visitors with a friendly chat as they arrive.

Please join us in wishing them both a very Happy Birthday! πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‰

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ β€œThe children were able to get properly hands-on with the animals, which they absolutely loved!”

Nothing beats seeing little ones gently grooming and bonding with our rabbits and guinea pigs. It’s one of those simple, feel-good farm moments that always proves a favourite with our visitors. 🐰

We’re back open this Thursday, and you can enjoy this activity (and plenty more farm fun) throughout May half term too!
