Mobile Farms 

Why not book our mobile farm to visit your school.   Maybe you would like the alpaca's, minature horses, goats, rabbits, hens, guinea pigs, baby chicks and ducklings, to enhance your Summer Fayre,  graduation or even to enhance your science lessons?   

We offer either an inside our outside mobile farm.  The outside mobile farm includes larger animals and requires an outside area to set up our mobile pens.

The inside mobile farm offers a  range of rabbits, ducks, hens, guinea pigs, ducklings and baby chicks (when available).

Our popular incubator scheme includes 6 fertile chicken or duck eggs as well as our child safe incubator set complete with everything you need to enjoy baby chicks or ducklings in the classroom.  

Our incubator scheme runs from February to July each year.  

Our baby chicks and ducklings are returned to the ARC to live long, happy lives with us.
