You may not have heard of Farmer Christmas. Unlike Father Christmas, who flies a sleigh pulled by reindeer, Farmer Christmas flies on a magic tractor instead. And instead of delivering presents to all the (well behaved) children, they deliver extra special treats to all the (well behaved) animals around the world.
Now this year, Farmer Christmas is much busier than usual preparing all the animal treat parcels (something about worker and supply shortages), so has asked if Middle Farm would kindly look after the magical flying tractor until the week before Christmas.
Farmer Christmas also asked for two small favours:
1. That we invite all the children to come and sit on the magic tractor and see how it works (it'll be stationary – it can't move without Farmer Christmas onboard!), and;
2. That all the children are given pot's of food treats for the animals around our farm so they can get to the other animals around the world a little quicker.
It will be a fun four days out in the fresh country air, with plenty of photo opportunities and fun memories to be made.
Help us make the animals feel even more special this Christmas, online tickets are available on our website under 'Open Farm Visits'.
