Meet the Herd
Depending on the day, your experience may include time with some of our favourite farm residents:
Highland Cattle
Meet Linnhe, Maree, and Lochlan, our gentle Highland cattle known for their impressive coats, curious personalities, and love of attention.
Donkeys
Spend time with Ruby, Fernando, Sassy Clementine, and little Rosie. Each donkey brings its own unique personality, from playful and curious to calm and affectionate.
Mini Ponies
Say hello to Fabio and Diva, our charming mini ponies who never seem to tire of posing for photos and meeting new visitors.
Every animal has a unique personality, which means no two visits are ever exactly alike.
