Farmer Kate’s Pupdate!
They are getting so big! Join Farmer Kate for a pupdate as we check in on the Pip Squeaks who are now just full of beans.
Please note: we have had many offers from people wanting to offer a home to the pups but it is our preference that they go to working homes / small holdings and other farms.
An update on Silver!
We have some wonderful news about Silver and her surrogate foal - and we've got some lovely heart-warming clips of them together. It's still early days but we have some very exciting news.
A Farming History
The Nicholson family opened the farm to the public in 1989 - and since then progress has been the mindset to improve things for our visitors. Here Farmer Richard narrates a little bit about our history.
Concern for our donkey – Cannon Hall Farm
Another new arrival!
Here at Cannon Hall Farm, you never know what the day will bring. And as visitors to the farm discovered - that could include a donkey birth where Farmer Dave had to offer some help (which is highly unusual.)
He's an experienced birthing partner!
The Pip Squeaks
As you know, we've commited to donating all the proceeds from the sale of Pip's pups to several charities.
We are thrilled to say we've now chosen the first benefactors - we are supporting Farmer Ruth and her pals at The Shire Cyclepaths.
One puppy's income will be going to that fundraising initiative - well done guys!
Twin Calves Update
We've had scores of messages about our orphan calves that appeared on Springtime on the Farm.
We are so happy to report that they are both heading in the right direction - so join Farmer Dave as we check in with the pair.
Where it all began!
We held a sell out celebration event on Saturday to celebrate Farmer Roger's 80 years in farming.
If you'd like to hear more about our family farming history, join Farmer Richard as he flicks through the family photo album.
A day with Farmer Roger
Farmer Roger turned 80 this year, and he still plays a vital role on the farm looking after all his animals.
Join him for a day on the farm as he delivers piglets, feeds alpacas and checks the lambs - and has a rest to reminisce about an old friend.
Blondie has delivered!
Were you watching us on Springtime on the Farm waiting for our alpacas to deliver? Well, Blondie our alpaca has finally unpacked and Farmer Dale was there within minutes to capture the cria's first few moments. He's having a good old go at lifting his head and getting up already!
Farewell Fearless
In another emotional week, there's bad news about Fearless and Farmer Rob checks in on Pip's pups. After three weeks of really working hard to give him the best possible chance of survival, it really is a blow.
Truly heartbreaking – Silver’s Story
"It's all gone wrong, and that's sometimes what happens." We've had an emotional 48 hours after Silver lost her foal - and then a race to find a foster foal for her...and someone answered the call. Here's the latest on what's happening with Silver and her foster foal as we take her to meet her new baby.
Goodbye Petal!
Our pygmy goat Petal has been retired from Cannon Hall Farm and we've found a very special place for her to enjoy her twilight years.
Please join us in wishing her a fond farewell and taking a glumpse at her new home.
