We are very much looking forward to your visit to Farmer Barnes Dairy for a Farm Tour. Ideally
we take groups of between 20 minimum and maximum of 40 people. We never cancel a trip due to
the weather so we advise all visitors to bring/wear suitable clothing for the weather forecast on the
day of the visit. Sensible flat footwear or wellingtons are advisable during the tour.

look on the right hand side, you'll see the farm entrance with two blue Farmer Barnes Dairy signs
on top of a hill. Continue down the drive and bear left towards the large farm buildings you'll see
car parking space. For users of What3Words: hood.juniors.prowl
