We have a range of animals on the farm, including sheep, cattle, goats, pigs, horses, poultry, rabbits and guinea pigs.
If you would like to find out about sponsoring an animal - please see our animal sponsorship page, for that gift with a difference!
Facilities include the farm shop which sells home produced goods like free range meat, home made ice cream and free range eggs. It also sells souvenirs, sweets and drinks. The cafe is open 7 days a week and sells a range of daily specials, snacks and drinks.
ABOUT US
Acorn Farm was created in 1985 on 4 hectares of derelict land, which had once been a tip for builder’s rubble, with a rabbit and two gerbils. It has since grown into an award winning visitor attraction which is home to a wide range of farm animals and employs 20 full and part time staff.
The project has strong roots in the local community and we believe that everyone has a valued social role to play within their community. Therefore at Acorn Farm we are proud to have individuals of different ages and abilities working together as a team in all aspects of running the farm.
