gate each morning for a bottle with Moli, Mali & Morus ~ this
year's bottle fed lambs
Morning
feeding time ....
The
morning feeding time consists of simply feeding the pet animals in
the pet field and collecting the eggs and letting ther ducks out of
their pen on to the pond ....this is usually done after breakfast
each morning at around 9.30 when guests who want to join in with the
feeding meet up at the farmhouse - and everyone
is welcome to join in if they fancy
You
may like to bring your wellies with you if the weather is damp and
you want to go into the pet's field where the grass could be wet ....
