🎥 40 YEARS FILM PROJECT 🎥
We won funding for an exciting new project at the farm to celebrate 40 years 🍾
😍 We’re looking for a small group of volunteers to help produce a short film about the farm 🐐
🎤We’re recording the voices and views of the farms people, both old and new, to acknowledge the work they have done and to provide a record for future generations.
🎬 We are looking for volunteers with or without skills in media who are enthusiastic to be involved, wanting to learn new skills or share existing skills to form a collaborative team
🎛️ We are also looking for one or two people to provide training and workshops. There is scope for these to be paid
📽️ Drop in session on the 5th of October 1.30-4pm in the straw bale room, at the farm.
💙This project is made possible with @heritagefunduk
🎙️For more details please email

🐐 Sola’s kids are growing up fast 💨 Their disbudding wounds on their heads are healing fast 🩹 Disbudding burns the horns at their root before they start growing💉 Otherwise their horns can hurt staff, volunteers and visitors and can get caught in fences ⛓️

🥜🫘Breakfast time for the donkeys 🫏 Ash is over a year-old now and although he still got a lot of energy and loves his zoomies he’s become a lot more chill, easing into farm life 🫏 Clover (25) is still the boss and tells him off if he’s embarrassing her too much 😤 #breakfast #breakfasttime #donkey #morning #healthybreakfast #donkeysofinstagram #breakfastonthefarm
💪 @goodgym back at it 💪 Great work moving our compost and getting it ready for a total facelift🤩

🐦⬛Yesterday the @tower_project_e1 team came down for their second Grow & Sow club 🪱
🌿They cut up small bundles of dogwood which is very flexible, bound them together to create natural hanging baskets and popped some fat balls inside for our fledglings 🐤
🦎The team then filled up all our ponds and wet areas for the newts
🥛 They then met the animals and fed little Albert his lunchtime milk bottle
🪴 We finished with planting some ferns in the garden
Great work everyone and see you next 🤩
