Our local little farm is a treasure trove. Bring the kids (or come by yourself :-) to meet the animals in the fields and small animal house. Enjoy the great cafe with plenty veggie/vegan/gf options. And for your garden you can buy plants and manure. A peaceful haven among the city buzz where you can stare at the wonderful organic veg and laugh at the goats - take some time to enjoy it!

Fabulous, friendly animals (and humans!), a proper farm in the city. From ferrets to horses via loads of goats, pigs, guinea pigs,canaries, peacock, more goats, cows, stick insects & more. Lovely place to bring small children but also a great visit for anyone. Inclusive ethos & free to get in. Cafe and small garden centre. Recommend this place 100%

Visited the cafe and loved what they are doing with it. The new menu is amazing with lots to choose from. We had the pimped up cheese toastie and a Easter special hot cross bun sandwich with halloumi and bacon and loved both. The drinks selection is also very good. Saw lots of families and the children’s menu looked great too. Way to go! Excited for the new seating area they are just setting up.
