Our nanny goats are known for their playful attitudes at the best of times, so you can imagine the excitement when Farmer Charlotte arrives with a bucket of their favorite snacks!
It’s not just a treat for them—it’s also the perfect opportunity for her to give our pregnant nannies a quick look over.

Feeding the Sheep in Knee-High Snow!
it may look pretty, the snow does bring more challenges for our farm team, especially when the snow is so deep the sheep can't nibble the grass.
It means extra work for Farmer Danny who has to wade through knee-deep snow to make sure the sheep have hay to feed.
