Apologies on behalf of the goats!

We would like to apologise if you have visited us today expecting to see our wonderful Trio of Pygmy Goats, unfortunately Pygmy goats hate cold, wet and windy weather! They are currently tucked up in their little stable enjoying some yummy grub! If you missed them, please pop back on a warmer day and I'm sure they will be more than happy to see you!

Thanks!

Apologies and Updates!

Hello to you all,

Many apologies for lack of both Blog and Twitter updates of late, the updater has been off work and therefore was unsure on what to update upon!

Now to the newest updates... our Wonderful sheep have been sheared and can now feel that "summer" breeze! I'm sure they would be more than grateful for a 50p food bag from you, as would the Pygmy goats, collect yours from the tuck shop!

We are planning many wonderful changes at the Adventure playground including some new additions, some new Partnerships with some fantastic places and a little re-furb! But please don't panic the farm and the playground will both be open throughout! We shall be keeping you updated as changes happen so keep and eye on this blog and our Twitter page http://twitter.com/#!/BlaconCityFarm .

As you all know, our chickens need rotation each year, so as with last year we shall have fresh chickens for sale from 28th August, We shall only have around 10 so make sure you get there Quickly.. a large chicken shall be priced at £3.50 so a massive bargain compare with supermarkets... and you know your chicken has had a wonderful life.

Don't forget we also sell eggs £2.50 per dozen or £1.50 per half dozen, all large and free range!

All there is left to say is

COME AND VISIT US!
KIPLING ROAD, BLACON!
IT IS THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS!

WE NEED YOU!

After our extremely sad week last week, here at Blacon City farm and Adventure Playground we are now determined to make everyone happy and aware that we are here!

We have come to a decision that not only should the children be more involved, but also that we need a wider range of animals, giving children many different experiences!

so this is where you come in.... WE NEED YOU!

we need some ideas of other animals which you would like to see at Blacon city farm and Adventure Playground!

you can post of our twitter page http://twitter.com/#!/BlaconCityFarm

A sad day in Blacon.

It is with a heavy heart that I write to announce the death of our 18 year old female donkey,

Domino.

She passed away this morning.

She joins brother Pedro, who passed away in February, this year.

The team wish to express their absoloute shock and sadness.

It is too soon, to comment on the circumstances of her death, but a post mortem, shall be arranged as soon as possible.

The adventure playground and farm, shall be open as usual tomorrow from 10am.

Please feel free to bring photos of Domino, as We shall be creating a memory board.

It's the weekend!

Hello there!


Well it's now the weekend "and what does that mean?" I hear you all ask...


Well that means we are open from 10am until 8pm in the evening!

So you have NO excuse not to come down and visit!
We have donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens and ducklings all waiting to see you! (or looking forward to being fed by some of you with food bags from 50p each)

It has been wet over the last couple of days but tomorrow it is forecast to be sunshine - if its hot remember suncream is essential!

See you all there
