Tucked away behind the South Devon Railway station at Totnes is a real gem of a farm. What started as a collection of farmyard small breeds has gradually grown and now you won’t find smaller pygmy goats or more inquisitive pigs anywhere else locally.
Totnes Rare Breeds farm offers the chance to be within hugging range of all the animals. In the small animals’ corner, children can hold a guinea pig on their laps, admire the antics of the chinchillas and watch in amazement as gerbils shift mountains of soil. Wizard the eagle owl loves a cuddle, and his eight feathered friends can be seen up close and stroked, as visitors learn about each of the different species.
The farm opens for this year’s season on March 18 and will then be open everyday from 10am to 5pm.
