Service Description

This day is very hands on, perfect for those wanting to become smallholders, are new to smallholding, or those that just want a different, active weekend outside learning new skills. You will experience a selection of smallholding tasks, whether it be fencing, tending to the vegetable patch, mucking out, moving sheep, medicating livestock or collecting the eggs, the experiences are vast. You'll see our set up, meet the residents at Happy Valley, and are encouraged to ask as many questions as you like about all things smallholding! There is no classroom type content today, it's all about experiencing the day to day tasks of the farmer. Your day will start on at 10am and finish at 4pm. Refreshments will be provided, however please bring packed lunches. We welcome well behaved, supervised children over 7 years on this day. Everyone attending whether supervising or taking an active role is required to book their place. If you or your partner are pregnant, please see advice on the NHS website relating to contact with farm animals during pregnancy.
