Fluffy baby chicks are chirping, new-born lambs are bleating and bluebells are beginning to show here at Church Farm, Ardeley, so why don’t you come along with all the family for a “real” Easter treat this holiday.
Church Farm is a place for wildlife, beauty, diversity, community and people. It’s a place for people to connect with the land and food. Not only can you walk the footpaths, feed the animals and visit our Farm Store and Café at any time, but you can also sign up to one of our many Easter weekend and holiday workshops run by local craftspeople and experts.
Why not go for the hands-on experience this Easter – help the Farmer bottle-feed the lambs, get up close to our baby chicks and have a guided tour of our vegetable area. If spotting migrant bird species with our local bird expert isn’t wild enough for you, then come along on our magical and fascinating bat walk - bat by popular demand! Support the Prince of Wales’ Wool Project by learning how to spin wool in a day or try mastering the art of knitting in a couple of hours. Alternatively, if home is where the heart is, join our poultry breeder to discover more about keeping poultry in your garden. Or take a stroll down memory lane with Derek Turner as he reminisces about the land around Ardeley and how it has changed since his childhood.
What’s more, you can enjoy a delicious roast from ingredients freshly prepared and grown on the Farm at our Café on Easter Sunday. Arrive early or stay late and choose breakfast, tea and cakes or a wholesome meal from our Special Easter Café menu. Eat in, take away or picnic in the fields. Open everyday. Weekdays: 10am-6pm. Weekends: 8am-6pm (including Good Friday and Easter Monday).
Don’t forget to pop into our Farm Store either. Make your Easter lunches healthier, tastier and that little bit extra special by buying fresh, local produce, organic fruit and vegetables, free range high welfare meat all reared on the Farm, fresh bread, pork pies, eggs, dairy and much more. Open weekdays 8am-6pm. Weekends 8am-8pm.
Being a traditional mixed farm, aiming to enhance the environment, build community, treat the land, wildlife and animals as they should be treated and grow great food, Church Farm certainly has something for everybody this Easter.
We look forward to welcoming you.
