By the start of Autumn our barley has been harvested and the straw baled up and stored for winter bedding. The orange pumpkins are growing fast and will be ready for picking before Halloween. Each year we have over 2,000 pumpkins of all sizes for sale.

In Winter more animals come inside the barn, including a flock of 25 Dorset sheep which should start lambing around mid-December.

The Farm comes alive again as we approach Christmas. By the last weekend of November we have over 600 Christmas trees for sale of all varieties and there is a free gift with each tree. Holly balls and wreaths are also available.
