A Proud Winner!
29 April 2008
This Sunday 27th April we held the first ever Fun Guinea Pig Show down on the Farm. We had lots of fun and met loads of gorgeous guinea pigs and their owners. The overall Show Champion was Harry – a rather handsome fellow brought along by his proud owner Charlotte Hopkins. When she heard the news, Charlotte gave Harry a big hug to say well done, and as you can see from the picture he was a worthy winner!
There were lots of different winners in the many categories but one proved just too close to call! The Fastest Dandelion Eater category was over in a flash as all the contestants cheerfully chomped through the treat at top speed! It was so close in fact that it was called a draw and everyone took home prizes! Well done guineas!
One of the best things about the day was meeting all the owners and hearing some of the excellent names they choose for their pets. Some of my favourites were, Nibbles & Squeak, Teddy Ruxpin, Super Sandy Smith, Gloria, Malteaser, Diddle, Sniff and Scruffball! There were loads more really cool names too.
It was a very busy day but I’m already looking forward to the next Show!!
Stay tuned for more stories this week!

The First Wild Ducklings of the Year!
21 April 2008
I was strolling around the Farm today and I saw the first wild duckling of the season. I just had to get a short video to show you all. You can see Mother Duck and all her little babies following her round and going for their first swim. It looks like they are having lots of fun! I love how the last duckling catches up with his brothers and sisters! He looks like a mini speed-boat! Ha!
This means that summer is on the way – and what a summer we’re going to have! Come and join the fun!

Larry makes friends!
14 April 2008
In my first blog I introduced you to Larry, a new Dorset Lamb born over Easter in the Silver Barn. He is still a very cheeky little chap and he’s having the time of his life! Larry and his mum have moved out of the Maternity Ward and into a nice fresh paddock with lots of space to play and make friends. I got a photo yesterday of Larry and some of his new mates from the paddock (Larry is the one in the middle). They look really cute together and they are getting lots of nice food from all the visitors!
Why don’t you pop along too? You can feed Larry, his friends and of course their Mums too! See you soon,

Douglas Primary Meet Darren!
08 April 2008
Douglas Primary School from Nottingham came to the Farm today and we had so much fun! The sun came out so we went around the animals paddocks in the morning. Check out the video of when they met Darren! He’s our famous waving goat and a real star. I was guiding Mrs Walker’s class and we saw lots of animals and still had time to play! Miss Bella even got to milk Harriett the Golden Guernsey Goat in our new Goat Milking Demonstration. The whole class were fantastic and really brave – they even held Tallulah the Corn snake! Well done!
Check out the School Group section on this site, or give me a call for more information,
Bye for now!

A Spring Surprise
03 April 2008
We get really excited at Spring because we have lots of little babies born everyday. We always look forward to lambs, ducklings and chicks but this spring we have an extra special hatchling! This little fellow is a pretty cool customer. He hatched out of his little egg in the Reptile House on 1st April but its no April fool! He is a tiny redfoot tortoise and already a popular chap, and you can see why – what a cutie! He’s the first hatchling of the year and will grow up to 18 inches. As you can see from his first picture, he’s got a long way to go!
You can see our trio of adult redfoots in the Reptile House everyday and our brand new baby will be joining them from the 15th April when he is nice and strong!
Until then, stay tuned for more exciting reptile news in the next few days!

Welcome to the World Babies!
31 March 2008
Spring is here and we have some sunshine at last! Perfect for our new babies down on the Farm. We have lovely lambs, the cutest goat kids as well as tiny chicks and ducklings, all exploring their new home at White Post Farm. This fluffy little fellow is Larry, a Dorset sheep. He’s already showing his cheeky side and enjoys nibbling my shoelaces! His mummy, Martha, is looking after him along with all his friends in the Silver Barn.
We still have more ewes and nanny goats due to give birth and you can welcome them to the World this Spring!
Keep an eye on our cool new blog for more news from down on the Farm, or pay us a visit and enjoy the sights sounds and smells for yourself!
Bye for now,
Farmer Anthony
