My 6 year old daughter has ‘ had the BEST DAY EVER’ it genuinely is the best money we’ve ever spent. She wants to be a farmer when she grows up so we bought her this experience for her birthday in January and traveled down in August. Boy did she get an experience!!! 6.30am start milking, feeding kids, mucking out she even got to witness a calf being born!!! Finished off with ice cream at 6pm which is made fresh on site!

Breakfast and lunch were provided and absolutely excellent, we felt so welcome and at ease.

I honestly can’t say when I’ve enjoyed a day more and we can’t thank you enough. I’m sure we’ll be back to visit in the future, my daughter wanted to stay forever!!

Thank you so so much xx More
