Petting Farm

Nathan's Farm
Keeping Nathan's memory alive 
 

Nathan passed away in May 2015 from Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne, a muscle deteriorating disease affecting boys.

Nathan's Farm was established by Nathan, he loved animals and was always outdoors. Nathan enjoyed watching Adam Henson and his rare breads on BBC Countryfile and decided to establish his own farm.  He designed the paddocks, had fences put in place, bought some chickens and hen houses and arranged monthly chicken auctions.  He soon had his own rare breeds; Belted Galloway cows and Jacobs sheep.  Today we watch the number of visitors to the farm increase and treasure what Nathan created.  Thank you for visiting our website, we look forward to seeing you at Nathan's Farm.
