IN ADDITION, we will have traditional stall holders selling amazing products, a BBQ, cream teas, vintage vehicles, a working apple press producing our own Miller’s Ark apple juice, an Antiques Roadshow – just bring your old items, and have them valued for free by our local Odiham-based expert.

Other exciting events and raffle proceeds all go to Animal Touch giving people who may benefit from interaction with our friendly farm animals time on the farm.
So come and enjoy family time at Manor Farm. We look forward to seeing you.

We are really looking forward to welcoming back the Specsavers group to the farm for a community day in September!  Here is a wonderful letter from them after visiting in June…..

Hello there Miller’s Ark!

We would like to send a massive thank you for having us with you for our Community Day.

We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned new skills. Not only did we feel positive for volunteering, we also gained fantastic team building skills; 2 in 1!

We loved meeting all the animals whom are obviously very loved.

Sitting down for a cup of tea and some cake and getting to know you all was such a pleasure. Thank you, Elizabeth, for ensuring we didn’t miss out on the office ice-cream day also!

It’s wonderful how hands-on the farm is, it’s obvious how these animals help others through your charity, Animal Touch.

We also learned a lot from your incredible staff, such as the stages the eggs go through from the first incubator to out on the farm; things we wouldn’t have learned in our IT world, here at work!

We would love to come and help out again, there are also so many people asking to come along with us so we’d have a few more hands!

Kind regards, and thank you again.

We are delighted to offer Animal Touch the use of the farm and our animals. The idea for the charity Animal Touch was born when visiting residential homes with the mobile farm revealed a need for a designated service to special needs users offering them individual or group time with our animals at the farm.

Keep posted for up to date information.
