The animals on our Dartmoor Farm Stay

Chickens
At the height of their productivity, a chicken will lay one egg a day, but will take a break from laying for part of the winter. Guests at Lower Elsford farm are free to help themselves to any eggs they find. Collecting and eating our fresh eggs is great fun and they are delicious poached for breakfast. We feed the chickens once a day, usually in the afternoon. Its great fun and all are welcome.

Our Dog
Our Sprocker Lola loves to chase sticks and is always excited to see you. You will see her around the farm pretty much all day. She is always keen to play, but be careful she may well lick you to death.

Sheep
We nearly always have some sheep here, and the flock normally comprises between fifty and eighty animals. In the mating season, the Ram’s chest is colour marked to enable a regular check on progress with mating. The colour marking is changed every few weeks so that a prediction can be made of the lambing sequence. Sheep are inclined to be very inquisitive, and tend to assume that everyone has come to feed them. They are therefore quite likely to follow you as a flock, and may even surround you, but only in a friendly way.

At Lower Elsford Farm, there’s truly something for everyone. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, outdoor fun, or simply a taste of authentic farm life, we invite you to experience the magic of Dartmoor with us.
