We already know that our lady Lacy really loves to play and splash in the big water puddles (regardless of the currently cooler weather outside).

And our big guy Osmond totally loves hanging out and rolling in the leave piles!

These two are really such different personalities and each loves different things.

From our barns into your homes we are wishing you all a happy holiday season and a very merry Christmas! 🎄

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving from our barns into your homes. ❤️🍁❤️

Today is the last day of our farm season 2024 - and there is lots to be grateful for.
We are saying THANK YOU
- for having the privilege of sharing our lives and work with these precious animals, for their patience, their kindness, their trust, their unique personalities and for everything they teach us every single day ❤️
- for so many helping hands from our divers pool of volunteers: such a unique group of people with so many different skills, abilities and talents ❤️
- for the supportive community surrounding us and the beautiful park we work in ❤️
- for all the regular and new farm visitors and animal enthusiasts, their interest in the animals, their care and life at the farm ❤️
- for every smile and kind word shared (especially on some of the more difficult and sad days) ❤️
- for a strong, passionate and dedicated farm team (new and old members) as well as for all the many little tasks that are taken care of in the background, seemingly unseen but never overlooked ❤️
- for the many memories made together. Let’s keep them in our heart forever and we are looking forward to making many more next season ❤️

Thank you

Rainy day and the farm is closed for the rest of the day.

Today would have been the 25th birthday of our oldest goat ever, our sweet girl Peggy.

Peggy lived from 1999 till 2017 here at the farm and during those 18 years she had made many two and four legged friends. She was a very special goat, a great mother, good friend, always loyal, with a truly big heart and gentle soul.
Even though we got to spent a lot of time with Peg - more than with any other goat before - it still seemed too short and she will be missed forever.

We are holding the many memories we’ve made together so very dearly and Peggy will always have a special place in our hearts.
And Peg has also left her legacy in our goat herd as her offsprings are living here with us and through all of them Peggy’s spirit lives on.

To our sweet girl Peg Forever in our hearts ❤️ #beaconhillchildrensfarm #foreverinourhearts

Our new mum Tinkerbell is really enjoying her evening snack! #beaconhillchildrensfarm

With the heavy rains yesterday, the trees were hanging so low that it allowed our two donkey ladies Opal and Taffy a chance to snatch an extra treat - just a very small one because of their sensitive diet. And they were so excited about it. 🤩 #beaconhillchildrensfarm #donkeysofinstagram

Our little „Mango“ 🦜was so impatient that he tried a morning shower 🚿but it appears he is rather in favour ❤️ of his regular morning bath 🛁 #beaconhillchildrensfarm #mangotheconure
