Has it
always been your dream to sit on a milking stool and gently squeeze a
stream of warm milk from a beautiful jersey cow? Or maybe you've longed
to hold a tiny newborn piglet or feed a calf with a bottle of milk.
Perhaps you've always wanted to sit on a bale of straw in the
tranquility of a barn full of animals with a tiny kitten asleep on your
lap.
All of this and more can be yours when you visit
Shortwood Family Farm
Two attractions for the price
of one in August 2010 (and
weekends until the end of October) Pay to visit the
farm and get free entry into our new
Maize Maze!
Covering approx 5 acres the maze has plenty of twists and turns and
dead ends.
There are animals to find along the way and even foxes lurking in the
undergrowth!!!!
There are lots of amazing maize facts to read as well. So why not spend the morning on
the farm animal feeding tour
and the afternoon in the maze Or even the
morning in the maze and the afternoon on the animal feeding tour.
