Welcome

COME AND HAVE A FUN DAY OUT AT

Shortwood Family Farm

A REAL WORKING ORGANIC DAIRY FARM

Live your dream and take home the memory...

Has it always been your dream to sit on a milking stool and gently squeeze a stream of warm milk from a beautiful jersey cow? Or maybe you've longed to hold a tiny newborn piglet or feed a calf with a bottle of milk. Perhaps you've always wanted to sit on a bale of straw in the tranquility of a barn full of animals with a tiny kitten asleep on your lap.

All of this and more can be yours when you visit
Shortwood Family Farm
