Our farm is the perfect place for young children to explore, learn, play and get up close to our farm animals.

Apon arrival at Middle Farm you will be greeted by a member of the open farm team who will lead you to our designated school room – which will be the base for your visit. You are welcome to create your own class itinerary for your visit, or use one put together by our team. Please do let us know beforehand if your class is concentrating on a particular topic.
During an educational farm tour by a member of our open farm team, the children will get up close to and learn all about our animals, including: sheep, goats, llamas, rhea, cows, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, tortoise, donkeys, ponies, chickens and ducks.
Children can participate in animal handling, feeding and petting as the they walk around with their open farm leader.
There can be allocated free time to spend as you wish. You can use our farm trail (weather depending), hay play barn and play park areas.
We’ve plenty of tables and benches available outside to eat lunch and if the weather is wet there are plenty of tables in the school room.
Office hours: 9am to 5pm

We would like to remind you that it is most important that both children and adults wash their hands after touching any of the animals or pens and always before consuming any food or drink.
There are hand washing stations around the farm. Those responsible for organising and leading school visits to farms should look on the HSE website which provides up to date guidance on what to do before, during and after visits to farms, to minimise the risk of children catching diseases from animals.
