Mossburn Community Farm

Mossburn Community Farm Mossburn is an animal sanctuary home to approx. 100 animals. We are open to visit every day 10am-4pm

Mossburn Community Farm was originally set up in 1990 and now cares for a wide range of misused, abused, unwanted and neglected animals as well as offering spaces where possible to animals whose owners can no longer look after them. We currently have around 100 animals including horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, poultry and more! Our animals are as free range as we can allo

w them to be so we provide a great peaceful environment where visitors can get up close to the animals. As well as the animal side of things, Mossburn provides support for young people and adults with additional needs (physical, emotional, behavioural and mental) via our Animal Assisted Therapy programme, offering work experience placements, our weekly Mossburn Experience Group (where individuals with additional needs gain life skills and help to care for the animals), and more.

🐐 Goats: Part gymnast, part comedian. Here's a throwback to baby Burt & Ernie showing off their best skills - because staying still is so overrated! This pair are still our most energetic goats, usually up to no good! Tag a friend who's always full of energy (human or furry!) ⚡️

🚨SOS!!🚨 Our rabbits and guinea pigs enjoy a range of enrichment but Nibbles and Elsa discovered a big problem during a stock take this week - almost empty shelves!! 😱

Their favourite treats are from Bunny Bistro UK and they would hugely appreciate some help with getting the shelves filled up again with any of the dried leaves, herbs, salads, flowers, chew sticks or anything from the site really! 🙏😊
Visit the link to send them a little something to the sanctuary at Mossburn Community Farm, Hightae, Lockerbie, DG11 1LE https://www.bunnybistro.co.uk/collections/all

We were sad to lose our cockerel Larry yesterday 🙁
Larry was an old boy at almost nine years old and had spent most of his life at Mossburn. He was a gentle cockerel who loved taking care of his girls and we'll miss having him around the farm.
