A warm welcome awaits at the Houghall Farm and Garden centres. The farm and garden centres are open to the public every weekend. Houghall pork and lamb is available from the Coffee shop along with locally grown fruit and vegetables. There is also an opportunity to experience the handling of birds of prey. Billy the barn owl is available for people to hold and to pose for a photograph which can be printed and framed to take home.

Desmond has a new lady

The team have named our new lady Llama 'Molly'.
She arrived with us from a local Animal Rescue Centre just before the second declared outbreak of Foot & Mouth in Surrey this year.
Since then Desmond and Molly have been getting to know each other.
Very soon we will be starting to halter train Molly.
At present she is happy to take feed from your hand.

Two new arrivals

Two additions to the Houghall herd born in the month of August. The two calves are from the same Limousin bull(father) and both cows(mothers) are Friesian Holstein cross.

New Arrival

A male llama is the latest addition to the animals of Houghall farm. He is eighteen months old, 6ft tall and was bought at the Rare Breed Auction in York a few weeks ago. He was one of many star attractions at the Houghall open day 20th May 2007. A competition was held on the day to obtain a name for him and the result will be posted here in the next few days. The search has now begun to find a female companion and a potential increase in the number of llamas on site.

Houghall Farm to open to the public Summer 2007
