Lambing Festival 2020

Our Lambing Festival at Cannon Hall Farm is now just one month away and we cannot wait!

It's always our most exciting time of the year where we share the triumph and tragedy of life behind-the-scenes on a working farm.

Moving the piglets!

We had three litters of piglets to move - so join Farmer Roger and Farmer David as they attempt to coax the lively little piggies into their new home. Did it all go to plan? What does Farmer Roger reckon to Dave's technique? Don't forget you can visit Cannon Hall Farm for just £3.95 on weekdays when you show the January sale voucher.

Do you have a burning question you'd like to ask one of our farmers? Our special Ask the Farmer show happens once a month where they answer your Facebook questions.

This week they tackle questions like: What animal do they wish they had? Who will take over when they retire? And what involvement does the rest of the family have?

We called Matt the Vet from Donaldson's Vets to see if there was anything he could do to save them.
