✨Can you spot the heron?

🌳This heron is often seen on and around the farm standing majestically and still in the river.

🎨If you haven't seen the real heron on the farm, you may have seen our heron mural on the cafe building looking out over the beck!

🐦Make sure to keep an eye out for this beautiful bird next time you visit the farm.

Huge thanks to @pottdpeople for sending over some clay kits for the HOOF team to have a go and get creative - we all had a great afternoon making clay pots :)

Cheeky squirrels stealing from the bird feeders!

Even as we move through autumn and the world starts to feel more 'grey' there is still so much colour and beauty to be found here at the farm and in nature all around us!

HOOF Trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park! We all had such a fun day out exploring the wildlife park, we were so lucky to see so many amazing animals :D

THIS THURSDAY! We are very excited to be hosting a MVUF Market Garden opening evening! Come and have a tour of the abundant summer crops, Try some of the delicious fresh produce and meet the people who grow your veg!

Thanks to the hard work of our HOOF team the farm is a bloom of wildflowers🌸🪻🌼. This makes for lots and lots of happy pollinators, from birds and butterfly's to the most important bee! 🪻Did you know it is estimated that one out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of animal pollinators like bees, butterflies, birds, beetles and other insects. 🪲A reminder of why it is SO important support pollinators with nectar rich flowers shrubs and trees - let your garden grow wild, let wildflowers grow

More from our Choir at the Summer Fair ✨ Want to get involved in making such beautiful sounds? Check out our website for more info on how to join!

Have you explored Shire Wood? It is the area on the farm behind the cafe, there is a large pond and the river runs alongside. Its a beautiful pocket of nature in the heart of Leeds and is especially lovely when the sun is shining!

From sheep 🐑 to snails 🐌 we’ve got it all make sure to explore beyond our farm animals 🐄 when you visit - check out the woodland area 🌳 to see birds 🐦‍⬛, and follow the bug trail 🐛 to find all sorts of critters 🪲
