Alfie looking very smart in his new winter coat!🧥🌨️

As he gets older his fleece doesn’t grow as thick anymore, and since it’s getting colder he needs more than a nice shelter to keep him warm this winter😊

By wearing a coat it means he’ll use less energy keeping warm which means he will be able to remain a consistent weight🌮
Plus he looks very stylish in it! And Teddy certainly approves😆

Thank you to everyone that has donated wellies to us so far!🥾👢

Remember if you have any Wellies you don’t use anymore (Children or Adult sizes) you can donate them to our Farm!🚜

This year we’re creating a boot hire area so all visitors can borrow a pair of wellies if they haven’t brought any! This allows our farm to be accessible to all without ruining your favourite trainers👟
As long as the footwear you donate don’t have holes in and are water proof they’ll do!😃

Today Peter (Owner of Owslow Farm) and Dave (Nephew of Peter and next in line to run the farm) joined thousands of farmers in London to protest in the hope the government will reverse the Family Farm Tax Scheme🚜

Here is some of the footage they took from the day🪧All we can do now is hope the government accepts their mistake and withdraws Family Farm Tax🙏⛔️

These photos were taken just 2 days apart at the farm!😅🌅
Don’t we just love the British weather🌡️☔️

It’s a good job our animals are well adapted to acclimatisation!❄️
