Description

Daisy May's Farm is a working and community farm located in the village of Elsenham, Essex. Founded in 2011 and run entirely by volunteers as a not-for-profit organisation, the farm opens its gates weekly to raise funds and provide visitors with the chance to enjoy hands-on experiences with a wide range of animals. Families can collect eggs, feed and handle farm animals, bottle-feed lambs (seasonal), hold chicks, and milk goats. Set across nearly 20 acres of pasture and woodland, the farm offers an idyllic setting for picnics and outdoor fun. Visitors can enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake from the Snack Shack while children play in the secure adventure playground or explore the sandpit.

Additional amenities include The Flying Pig Co Food Hut serving home-cooked meals and fresh local produce on weekends and during school holidays, a Party Barn for birthday parties and train rides departing at 11:00, 13:00, and 15:00 on weekends. One-to-one animal handling experiences, such as lamb bottle feeding and holding ducklings or chicks, are also available. Entry costs £6 per person, with under-1s free.
