Perhaps one of our most popular pigs is Maizie. She is a two year old Middle White and has had her first litter in August this year. Crossed with Kune Kune (Harry being the dad) and born on 30th August 2011, these mischievous little pigs can now be seen racing in our "Pork Stakes" pig racing throughout the winter period.

Come and see our improved Rabbit World which has now incorporated a new, large rabbit enclosure situated in the middle of our barn. Our large and giant breeds are housed together in here including French and German Lops.
They have extensive space to run around and play as well as several houses to sleep and hide in! New additional features will be created and added regularly.

Our animals
Visitors can see our wide range of farm animals including the "Baby Farm" where lambs, kids and piglets are all happily wandering around with their mums. You can also feed the animals with food bought in the shop. With eight breeds of sheep roaming in special paddock areas, five breeds of pig, three breeds of goat, many breeds of rabbit, a variety of breeds of poultry and three breeds of pony, there is so much to see and an enormous amount of fun to be had!
Breeding Programme
We take pride in our breeding program which is helping to increase the number of rare breed farm animals in Britain and save them from extinction. The pride of our program is our four Eriskay ponies from the Hebrides in Scotland. These are small ponies that used to be used for draft work and driving before cars were invented! Unfortunately, over the years, the number of Eriskay ponies has continued to decline and their status has since been recognised as critical by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST). The RBST are now continuing their much needed efforts to increase the numbers once more. A little known fact is that the Eriskay is still rarer than the giant Panda! We are enormously lucky to have four of these beautiful animals right here on the farm and hopefully, with your help and hard work, we will one day reach a point where they are thriving and a long way from extinction.
.... Eriskay foal due March 2012
