Our meerkats are always looking for new adventures, and this year we've decided to give them a try at some tree foraging.

We've added an old Christmas tree to their enclosure - and they've made it into their very own playground.

Yum, yum, delicious!

Some people walk their dog...for Farmer Dave he's walking Ted, our Highland Bull, to get him used to the unusual and unfamiliar sounds of the farmyard.

Ted has grown into such a monolith - and we are so proud of him.

Who can remember when he was that cuddly bear of a baby?

Vidal Phil is on hand to help get our ponies looking in tip top condition...and reluctant Shetland Pony Alice is next in line for a new look.

But we aren't convinced she's all that thrilled with the idea of having a trim...

Our ewes are getting closer to their lambing dates so it is now more important than ever to make sure they are bedded up correctly - and that means more straw than ever.

Join Farmer Dale on a morning shift...

We've got one of the most perfectly marked Swiss Valais lambs that's just been born at Cannon Hall Farm. In Farmer Darrell's words 'a cracking start for lambing 2023.'

Our pregnant Shire Ruby is getting to the end of her pregnancy and is feeling a bit fed up with herself - she's feeling all itchy and uncomfortable so her pal Farmer Ruth is there with a tickle stick to save the day.

We bet this is the first time you've seen a Shire horse get raked...

It's one of the longest jobs we have to do in a morning - and one that can't be automated by machines.

What does it take to look after our pigs? Farmer Dale joins the team for a special behind-the-scenes.

We're open every day if you'd like to come and see our piglets in person.

Silver the Shire horse is due to give birth in March - but unfortunately Blossom is hogging all the food.

We are temporarily moving her to our shire horse 'maternity unit' in our Roundhouse so we can monitor her progress.

Check in on her and Ruby in this special behind-the-scenes glimpse into life at Cannon Hall Farm.

It's just a few weeks to go before lambing begins at Cannon Hall Farm and our ewes are enjoying the pastures at Mill Spring - but our tiered lambing season means its time to give them some extra food.

Farmer Rob is taking a turn on the JCB to get it done...what could possibly go wrong?

How do you convince an active, hairy armadillo that it's time for a health check weigh in?

With food bribery of course!

Join Farmer Georgie in the mammal house as she tempts Nessa and Tank onto the scales...

Morning has broken at Cannon Hall Farm and its time to feed the animals to prepare them for the day ahead.

Farmer Dale makes pals with Sapphire, our pregnant mare, and calls in on Elliot and Herkules.

It's just one month to go until our lambing season of 2023 begins - and we are preparing for an awful lot of work.

Farmer Ruth is in the roundhouse with our first due ewes to talk you through what we are doing behind the scenes to look after the ladies.
