Please note our small animal building, which is currently housing our poultry, remains closed to protect our chickens and ducks and to comply with the poultry ban due to the ongoing outbreak of Bird Flu in the region.

The current strain of Bird Flu poses low risk to human health and the Farm does not nor has not had Bird Flu but we have to comply with government regulation and protect our Birds.

Once the ban has been lifted our building will reopen.
