Heritage Farm first opened its gates to the public in 2021 for its Pumpkin Patch and has since been holding Autumn on the Farm and Spring on the Farm earlier in the year.
‘We started with this one when we were still in our island bubble after the lockdowns as a pumpkin patch after Brooklands Farm closed,’ said organiser Merrie Jee.
‘Then we pivoted more towards doing an event on the farm and having people come in and learn more about us and farming.
‘It’s the event we have done the longest. Spring on the Farm came off the back of that and has been going for a few years less than Autumn on the Farm.’
At this year’s event there were some new baby animals for visitors to see, such as goats, calves, piglets and sheep.
‘We have all the animals for people to come and see, a new baby calf, some donkeys, piglets which are only five or six months old, two new baby kids and my mother-in-law with their baby Shetlands and their new naughty foal,’ said Miss Jee.
‘All the games are back which my dad made, and then the labrynth this year is a farm machinery trail with a picture and the English and Guernesiais word for it, the tractors, and a barn door trail.’
Miss Jee said she was pleased with the turnout for the event on Saturday.
‘I’m really pleased with how many people have come so far, it’s nice as the weather is on our side too as it didn’t look too good on the forecast at the start of the week,’ she said.
