Our Story

How it all began. . .

We started by providing a home for 2 horses on Emily’s home farm to live alongside an already established family of dogs, ducks and chickens – not to mention a fair few children! We both shared a passion not just for animals, but for introducing them to those who do not have the space or opportunity to live alongside these wonderful and familiar countryside inhabitants. So, gradually the farm space became home to a small family of sheep, pigs, goats, 3 more horses, and more recently miniature Shetland ponies and donkeys. Usually, visitors come to where the animals are, but it was the unexpected series of conversations with staff in the care home where Laura's Grandma lived, about sharing our animals (and excited reactions in school when one school pick-up happened with ducklings in tow!) that sparked the idea of the animals doing the visiting – coming as special visitors to settings where safe and close interaction could take place for those who might not otherwise be able to physically get out or easily come into contact with countryside animals. So, the Good Day Farm On Tour was born. As more people have wanted to be part of this type of visit we have included rabbits, guinea pigs and even a tortoise to our farm family, who all enjoy the experience of being out on tour and contributing to the well-being, education and experience of so many others!
