Cronkshaw Fold Farm

It's time to explore the farm and get the farm jobs done!

 

Bring your little one along to help feed the goats, give them a groom, visit the hens, give them some snacks, collect the eggs and run them through the egg machine to be boxed up. Proper jobs for little people while learning all about our organic farm.

 

These sessions are aimed at 0-6 year olds (we don't mind hosting those a little older - this is not a hard rule)

 

 

What to bring:

• Wellies and waterproofs (even if it's dry, there will be mud!)

• Tap and pay / coins if you'd like to bring an extra person/ take home eggs you've collected/ buy a tasty organic brew to walk round with

• Thermos mug for a brew (bring your own mug/brew or buy one here and we'll lend you a thermal mug)

• Shoes to change into afterwards (to save your car getting too farmy!)

​

FAQS

 

Can I bring an extra child?

Yes! There's a £2 additional charge to bring a sibling/ friend. Babes in arms are free.

 

Can I bring an extra adult? (e.g partner/ grandparent)

Yes! There's a £2 additional charge. Please all come in one car (our car park is tiddly)

 

Should I bring a pram?

A baby sling is usually easier - if you've got a mud/ off road friendly pram (think Thule Chariot) that would manage the terrain. Small wheel prams are tricky here.

 

Is there baby changing?

Yes! In the barn

 

Is there seating to breastfeed?

There's no properly comfy seats, just plastic chairs - but you are very welcome to use them to feed :)

 

How long is this session?

1 hour. We understand arriving on time with little people can be a challenge, so we set off to do the farm jobs 10 minutes into the session, giving you a chance to arrive/ nip to the loo/ find wellies in the boot of the car/ play in the farm yard/ indulge in a few minutes chat with other adults over a brew.

 

Is the farm road ok for my car?

Yes. You don't need a 4x4. Our hill is steep, but it is a proper concrete and tarmac road, not a stone track.

 

I'm pregnant - can I still come?

Yes! Wash your hands after touching fences/ animals. Wear gloves if you want to hand feed the animals. Touching a phone, face, or keys with dirty gloves? Be mindful of cross contamination.

 

Not been before? A note for new visitors:

 

We are not a big commercial visitor centre, we are a small certified organic hill farm and only do small, pre-arranged activities that fit around our farm work.
