We have some you can use, just ask. We have deer, who are always in one or more of the paddocks. Please do not enter the deer paddocks as they can be dangerous and frighten easily, especially around birthing and mating seasons. You are welcome to feed all of the animals. We will provide some treats for the animals on your arrival and you can feed them when you wish. Both the sheep and the chickens will eat from your hands. The pond area is lovely and we occasionally have ducks visiting. The pond is not suitable for swimming. There is an orchard on the property, all of the trees are summer fruit. Other things to note We have a natural spring water supply. The spring water passes through three filters and is UV treated. It is excellent drinking water, better than most town supplies. Our check in and check out time can be flexible depending on other bookings. Just message us if you would like some flexibility. I have several sets of golf clubs including left handed. Guests are welcome to borrow a set of clubs to play one of 15 courses within one hour drive of the farm.
