Summer News 2010
Welcome to our news page. We are keen to make our site useful/informative and easy to use; thank you to all of you that have given feedback so far; it's been very positive. If you feel the site could be improved then just email your ideas to us.
Wedding with Wellies at the Farm
The beginning of the summer saw us hosting our first wedding reception at the farm which was an enormous success.
The Bride and Groom's choice of quite distinctive and fun Tipis (supplied by World Inspired Tents) worked perfectly for a farm location. Our animals were all on their best behaviour and even Casper put on his best tie for the occasion.
To help celebrate the event and satisfy the many requests for photos, we have put together a gallery of the day. We hope you all enjoy looking at them.
Our thanks to everyone involved for all their hard work and our congratulations to Karen and Mark along with our very best wishes for their future together.

Regular news
Slightly later than scheduled, but never the less very well worth the wait. Our games room opened (Phase 1) just in time for the wedding (fancy that!) and now boasts superb indoor facilities which will very soon link up with a brand new under 7's play barn (phase 2).
Feedback so far has been fabulous and the children and adults alike have certainly enjoyed the new space and equipment.

More pictures soon.
More new animal faces have joined us here at the farm. An unusual and talented male Call Duck by the name of Sir Francis has settled in well and is now teaching the other ducks how to play football (no really!) a great England hopeful in the making.
Our original spring lambs Liquorice, Sherbert and Tic-Tac have now returned to their flock and have been replaced by a couple of orphans Smartie and Curly Wurly. They now join Haribo our other bottle fed lamb and are enjoying the care and attention that all of our young guests are happy to provide.
Following over three weeks of dedicated sitting from Dilys our Muscovy duck, we are hopeful that in another weeks time she will produce our very first bred and raised North Hayne Farm ducklings. Keep your fingers crossed.
In the mean time, we have fostered a variety of chicks and ducklings for one of our neighboring farmers for the children to enjoy handling and feeding.
And finally, Tipsy and Tumble or two white chipmunks successfully produced five babies who are now growing well and proving to be very friendly and entertaining.
Mini meals for toddlers get the thumbs up 
New for this summer is our range of 'JackChilli' mini meals for toddlers, consisting of `Barneys Pasta Bake`, `Caspers Casserole`, `Patricks Pie` and `Tabitha's Treat`; these meals have all been tried and tested now by our young visitors and have been given the thumbs up.
