Update: the move to Great Horsham Hill and Jenny Bare Legs is likely to still go ahead though the addition of extra cattle is postponed.
Six more cattle are planned to join those already on Chesworth Farm tomorrow (Wednesday 11 November). They are likely to stay on Wheat Rick and New Town Nine Acres fields until early next week when the aim is to move them all on to Great Horsham Hill and Jenny Bare Legs fields.

Grazing
The herd of llamas, goats and sheep are in enclosed Tip Field (no public access), to the right if you approach from the Queensway entrance. Please do not feed any of the grazing animals on the site – they are well cared for, fed and watered. They are here to help maintain the farmland habitat.
All Friends farm-based events cancelled until further notice, sorry.

Horse-riders and cyclists please keep to the bridleways. These cross the site E-W or N-S. If you are on a diagonal field path, you are definitely not on the right track.
