Farmer Experience

Our "Real Farmer" experience allows children or adults (there are no upper age limits and we have lots of adults attend our experiences) to participate in real farm tasks and learn about animal care. The fun filled, hands-on activities are designed for anyone above the age of 6 years. During this unique session, farmers will get stuck into a range of seasonal farmyard tasks, such as: feeding and grooming animals, collecting eggs, helping with mucking out and of course learning lots about the animals are you go. 

Activities may vary slightly depending on the day, but each session promises a fun, safe, and engaging farm experience. 

There's lots of time for pictures, playing, petting, snuggles and hand feeding the animals during your time. This is a one to one experience where only you/your booking party will be aloud into the animal pens with your farmer.  The party size is limited to 6 people to maximise your time with the farmer and animals. 

The price also includes lunch (to the value of £10) here at Blacker Hall Farm from our Courtyard Kitchen. You will receive your lunch voucher at the end of your experience. 

Perfect for curious minds, animal lovers, or anyone interested in farm life.
