Home Farm - is an exciting place to explore

Self-Guided
The farm is a great place to take young children to see in real life animals familiar to them from stories and pictures. Learn farm animal names and sounds, discuss farm products such as eggs and milk or introduce aspects of caring for animals and their needs like bedding, water and food. There are lots of resources available to help you plan your visit to the Farm.

Please discuss the Farmyard Code with children before your visit. We also have some safety guidelines for teachers and parents.
