Farm Diary

2025 farm tours Drumsleed is a working farm so please ensure you dress appropriately for puddles and the weather! Please note, tickets are non-refundable. Description 1. Maximum of 10 people (under 2s come free and are not included in the 10) 2. Cost £10 per person. Tour is from 1pm-2pm (please arrive at 12.45pm). Tickets are non-refundable. 3. ONCE 10 SLOTS HAVE BEEN BOOKED NO FURTHER SLOTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE TOUR ON THAT DAY. 4. Tour will consist of being able to interact with our lambs and give them a cuddle, get the opportunity to feed the lambs and calves, be able to get close to one of our pedigree bulls and see our cattle, sheep, goats(and our newest arrival!), hens and farm machinery. 5. Lots of photo opportunities with all of our animals and around the farm. You will also be able to see some of our machinery and if you ask Farmer Gerald nicely, you might just get to sit in one! 6. Your slot will last up to 60mins and you will get to feed the lambs, interact with the lambs and take plenty of photos with them. You will also get a chance to see some of our breeding cattle and their young calves. Please note that although the lambs will most likely take a whole bottle at their feeding slot we cannot guarantee that they will take a whole bottle, as a bit like us humans, sometimes we just don't feel like it. Each lamb needs to be fed at set times and it is our duty to care for our animals above all else. If you miss your time slot the lambs will still be fed at their designated time and a refund will not be given. Bookings cannot be moved on the day of booking, except in exceptional circumstances at management discretion. Bookings cannot be moved even if you miss your slot. In the unlikely event that the lamb feeding has to close for the day, you will be notified and a code will be given so that you may rebook at a convenient time. We reserve the right to have a zero tolerance policy for rude, abusive or agressive behaviour. We reserve the right to refuse entry, revoke tickets or ban entry to anyone who fails to adhere to this. We also reserve the right to change polices at any time without notice. - Drumsleed is a working farm so you enter at your own risk. - Cars parked at our farm are parked at your own risk. - All children must be accompanied by an adult. - It is important that instructions are followed by staff/management at all times. Failure to do so may result in exclusion from the activity. - Hot water and soap must be used to thoroughly wash hands. - Hands must be washed after touching any of our animals. - Hands must be washed after touching gates. - Hands must be washed after feeding the animals. - Food or drink must not be brought in or consumed in the feeding/petting areas. - If your child has a habit of putting hands on their mouths or sucking fingers then this might not be the best activity for them. - Lambs milk must not be consumed. - If you are pregnant, or may be pregnant then please do not book to come and see the lambs as there are risks to unborn babies. - This is a working farm and we try to keep it clean and tidy but please wear old clothes and suitable footwear that you don’t mind getting a bit of dirt (or worse) on. Please dress appropriately for the weather. - Sorry for blethering on but finally, if you do not agree with our food chain cycle then we ask kindly that you do not come to the farm. Our animal’s welfare is our top priority and we pride ourselves in caring for them to the highest standard. However, ultimately, some of the animals you see will be utilised as food. We are just getting started with this new venture so if you have any positive feedback then we would love to hear from you. Equally, if you weren’t happy with your experience then we would like to hear how we could improve. We hope you enjoy your time with us at Drumsleed and thank you for booking in.

Fantastic wee helpers you’ve got there Doug! Keeping you right I’m sure.👍🏻

Great idea I hope it is a great success. Good luck Gerald & co.
