Got a little one who’s desperate to meet the calves but not quite big enough for Calf Cuddles just yet?

We’ve listened to your feedback and created something especially for that in-between age, our brand-new Meet & Greet Children’s Calf Session, designed just for children aged 3–6.

This is a calm, gentle introduction to ONE of our calves, created with younger children (and their grown-ups) in mind.

What to Expect

This 20-minute session gives your child the chance to:

• Meet one of our calves up close
• Sit safely on a straw bale inside the pen
• Gently stroke the calf (with guidance from our team)
• Learn simple, child-friendly facts about life on the farm
• Ask questions and say hello in a relaxed, small-group setting
• One calf will be brought into the pen and calmly walked around by a trained member of our team.

What This Experience Is (And Isn’t)

This session is:

• Designed specifically for ages 3–6
• Calm, seated and fully supervised
• A chance to meet one calf up close
• An introduction to farm life at a child-friendly level

This session is not:

• A cuddle session
• Multiple calves in the pen
• A high-energy, hands-on session

A First Taste of Farm Life

This session is perfect for:

• First farm visits
• Animal-loving preschoolers

It’s calm, it’s cosy, and it’s designed to make little ones feel confident around our animals, all while keeping our calves happy and relaxed too.
