Our animals

Guests at the farmstay can enjoy lots of cute and friendly farm animals around – Alpacas, cows, chickens, horses, goats, ducks and the cats. All of them have a story and many of them are rescues. You are invited to join in at feeding times or to have a pat. You can also enjoy some of the free range eggs for breakfast on the weekend if the “girls” have been laying.

Meet our two big buddies – Rusty and Shady are our two horses.
Our 2 little baby goats are called Muddy Valley Twi and Muddy Valley La. They love bouncing around in their paddock and up onto the things in their playground.
We have 6 ducks, 2 Buff Orpingtons and 4 Cayugas plus an odd and changing bunch of rescue ducks.
The chicken we have are mostly rescues of some sort, from ex=battery farm hens to unwanted.
Meet our family of cats: Silver, Naughty, Moonshine and Ziggy
We have a herd of super-friendly alpacas and two of them, our junior boys, were born at our place.

When our son did a placement on a nearby dairy farm during calving season, they forgot to book a calf for the bobby truck. That was the beginning of Caramel’s story.
What can I say, the cats are special here. They are probably special everywhere, but I feel that we have an interesting mix of personalities. Especially Moonshine, he’s always good for entertainment.
Last night we said goodbye to our much-loved cat Ziggy Stardust. She fell aslep amidst her cat and human family, not to wake up anymore.
Shady our little Bush Pegasus has peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge today. We are so glad he was able to go gracefully and peacefully with all of us and his best mate Rusty by his side.
February was thought to finally bring summer. What it brought instead was more rain – and storm.
The month is almost over and has been rather eventful. From rain to sunshine to torrential rain again and alpaca shearing in between.
