Explore a heritage cottage farm with rescued animals, pick-your-own orchards, and relax at the Tea Barn café in the scenic Medway Valley.

Little Fant Farm is a hidden heritage cottage farm nestled within the scenic Medway Valley Fruit Orchards on the western side of Maidstone, Kent. This family-friendly destination offers visitors the opportunity to walk around the farm, observe rescued farm animals on the Little Farmer Explorer Trail, and explore pear and plum orchards, a pumpkin patch, and pick-your-own sunflowers depending on the season. The Tea Barn is the heart of the farm experience, serving farm-made cakes, savoury treats, freshly made coffee, and tea in both indoor and outdoor seating areas. The farm is particularly known for its exceptional sausage rolls and homemade bakery items. Visitors can enjoy breakfast mornings on Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30am, and evening service on Thursdays from 6pm-8:30pm. Little Fant Farm welcomes families of all ages and is accessible via public footpaths as well as by car, train, or foot. Dogs are welcome when kept on a tight lead. The venue hosts special events throughout the year and school holidays, with seasonal pop-up farm shops and a designated picnic area during summer opening. The farm provides a peaceful countryside retreat for families seeking a combination of outdoor exploration, animal encounters, and farm-to-table dining.

Fantastic evening attending the Barn Dance last night. We danced, had a picnic, bought cake, laughed so much. Highly recommend. Beautiful setting on a sunny evening. Just wonderful.

Lovely little farm to take the kiddies to. A really nice café with a good selection of savoury pastries, including vegetarian, and lovely home made cakes. Plenty of seating under cover and outside. Very friendly and helpful staff. We spent a very enjoyable afternoon there with 3 adults and 3 children. The ponies are adorable too.

A delightful cafe and farm shop with a farm trail and several farm animals. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. We had cream teas, and the scones were large, fresh, and warm. It's probably one of the best cream teas I have had. There is indoor (undercover) seating and some tables outside. You can wander around the farm trail and meet a few animals. It's a lovely setting, and we will definitely be back ❤️
