We would particularly like to share this part of unseen Jersey with our international communities. Come and enjoy the abundance of blossoms in May, and make the most of this chance to access a real Jersey farm where we’re working with nature to restore and regenerate ecosystems and the soil to grow the healthiest, most nutrient-dense food possible.
Check-in from 10:00am. Please arrive between 10:00 – 11:30am if you’d like to make flower crowns.

In addition there will be opportunities throughout the day to meet our heritage and rare-breed poultry and our calf, Gabriel. Born 11:11:2025, Gabriel is our 001, the first Jersey calf to be born on the farm in over 50 years. We operate a calf-at-foot or calf-sharing system which means Gabriel stays with his mom, Razzle, and we share her milk with him.
