Get close to farm animals and learn all about them.
WHY our ANIMALS are SO SPECIAL
From playful goats and gentle sheep to curious pigs and friendly cows, our animals make the farm feel alive. We care for them not only to provide food, but also to create opportunities for learning and the joy of animal-assisted therapy.
When you visit the farm, you will find informative posters with interesting facts about the breeds and details of many of the individual animals. For example, did you know that:
Goats’ eyes are rectangular - they see the world differently!
Female pigs that haven’t had piglets are called gilts.
Egg shell colour matches the chicken’s earlobe: red = brown, white = white.
