Our Story

Welcome to Swithens Farm!

We are an independent family run business and our farm has been in our family for over 60 years. Opening our doors to the public we wanted to share with you our love for our animals, produce, and give our knowledgeable insight, all whilst promoting the family atmosphere that the farming environment offers… making it the prime location for families to enjoy their day out.

Here you can meet our more than just our farm yard animals, we have many friends such as Meerkats, Emus, Donkeys and more! The rare opportunity to get up close and personal is waiting for you here at our farm, an experience that is not so easy to find anymore. From lamb feeding to tractor rides – it’s here! We try our very best to offer educational value to your visit, in which we have many School Trips visit to learn about the farm life and the animals, especially how the food they eat ends up on their plates.
