What to Expect on the Tour
During your visit, you'll have the chance to:
Meet Our Animals: Get up close with the wide variety of animals that live at Solsgirth Home Farm. From sheep, pigs, and chickens to our more unusual residents, emus and rheas. You’ll learn how we care for them, observe their behaviour, and may even have the opportunity to feed or interact with them.
Explore the Farm: Spanning 300 acres, Solsgirth Home Farm is a patchwork of fields, woodlands, and working areas, each playing a vital role in the health and productivity of the land. As you explore, you'll learn how we manage the environment sustainably—rotating animals between pastures to maintain soil fertility and encourage biodiversity. Depending on the season, you might witness everyday farm activities such as herding, orchard picking, or other essential tasks in action.
Perfect for All Ages
Our farm tours are ideal for families, friends, and anyone looking to experience the joys of rural life. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the tour, ensuring a safe and informative experience for young visitors.
Seasonal Changes and Farm Activities
No two tours are the same at Solsgirth Home Farm, thanks to the ever-changing nature of farm life. Depending on the season and current farm tasks, you might witness machinery at work in the fields, apple harvesting, or activities involving our livestock. Our guide will explain the significance of these tasks and how they fit into the larger picture of farming. From spring lambing to autumn harvest, there’s always something new to experience on the farm.
From Farm to Fork
One of the core themes of our farm tours is the journey of food from farm to fork. At Solsgirth Home Farm, we’re passionate about educating our visitors on where their food comes from and the processes involved in getting it to their tables. Understanding this journey not only enhances your appreciation for the food you eat but also highlights the importance of supporting local and sustainable farming practices.
