From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who attended our Farm Open Day.

Thank you for coming along and supporting us.

Thank you for taking part in our activities and engaging so enthusiastically with everything the farm has to offer.

Thank you for being so respectful and for helping us share the magic of the farm we are building together.

Seeing so many people enjoying the space, learning new things and connecting with nature made the day truly special.

We hope you had as much fun as we did and we look forward to welcoming you back to our next Open Day in the future.

With gratitude,

The Coombe House Farm Team 🌱🐔🚜

We’ve been busy getting everything ready for your visit to the farm tomorrow! Gates open at 10am and close at 3pm 🌱

The weather has been pretty miserable over the last few days, but the forecast is looking much more promising for tomorrow, so come and join us for a fantastic day on the farm.

Unfortunately, our sheep shearing demonstration may not go ahead if the sheep’s fleece remains too wet from the persistent rain. However, our Sheep Show will still be taking place from 12pm - 1pm, led by local farmer Jason Read and supported by our wonderful pupils. They’ll be sharing their knowledge about sheep and demonstrating how they are cared for.

We can’t wait to see you all tomorrow!

And finally… how adorable are our baby goats?! 🐐❤️

We’re delighted to share that our pupils have been busy voting and have chosen Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital as the next charity to benefit from our Produce Shack sales over the coming 6 months 💚

This fantastic local charity works tirelessly to care for injured and orphaned wildlife, helping them recover and return safely to the wild. We’re incredibly proud of our students for selecting such a meaningful cause that supports our local environment 🦔🦉

We are so excited to be opening the farm for the first time!! Keep your eyes peeled for more info soon 😁
