February and March at the farm is probably our most intensive and rewarding time. Lambing generally starts in the first week of February and continues for around 7 weeks. This time is a real 24/7 family operation keeping us all busy – many sleepless nights!
As the lambs go out to the fields within a few days of being born, we really get to see their playful and mischievous nature develop as they explore their new playground and make friends.
Our family has been farming here for over 100 years. Rob is the 4th generation with Lewis and Owen showing a keen interest to carry on the family farm tradition.
We were delighted to have won the ‘Caravan Park of the Year award North Wales’ for the second year running…
April comes with a Spring in our step as we open Abbey Farm caravan and camping! We enjoy this time of the year as we get to see old friends and welcome new ones. A busy time fertilising the fields to encourage the grass to grow for silage, hay and straw ready for cutting during the Summer.
May is a great time for us, & the cows as they are let out of their winter ‘lockdown’ into the freedom of the fields for the summer. A time where the lucky sheep have their yearly hair cut with our favourite shearers. Shearing is really important so that the sheep keep cool and stress free. This also helps reduce infestations and allows their fleece to grow ready for insulating them through the winter.
Abbey Farm Rhuddlan In November & December with the next few weeks being full of fun and frolics as we get to see families return to buy their Christmas trees.
For many of us, this summer’s weather has been nothing short of perfect. Blue skies, warm evenings and sunshine day…
