Cattle grazing: Gravel Pit and Spring Barn fields

The British White cattle have made their first move around the farm. From this week they are grazing in adjoining Gravel Pit and Spring Barn fields (Kerves Lane side) where they will stay for a few weeks. These fields are coloured pale pink on the map below. Please follow the signage advice from Horsham District Council for the safety and welfare of cattle and visitors. Their likely next move will be to Great Horsham Hill and adjoining 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.

#sharechesworthfarm: dog walkers are reminded of the Countryside Code: “When you take your dog into the outdoors, always ensure it does not disturb wildlife, farm animals, horses or other people by keeping it under effective control.” More details can be found at Countryside Code

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.
