Visit our Latest News page for details about the
Summer Holidays!!
We are a family run, working organic dairy farm, and are passionate about giving children (and adults alike) the opportunity to see, touch, smell, hear and taste the experience of a real working farm.
But most importantly we're about having fun, eating well and learning through play!!
Remember you won't want to go home before watching our cows being milked at the end of every day! See our Dairy page for information about the farm! Plus why not visit our farm shop and treat yourself to one of our delicious home-made Ice creams - made from our very own organic milk! Perfect for a Summer's day!!
The spring chickens amongst our visitors are invited to explore Old Holly Farm Courtyard where they can experience the thrill of coming face to face with our traditional Lancashire farm animals. This can be followed by hours of 'rough and tumble' in the indoor soft Playbarn and you may even coax them away for long enough to enjoy an appetizing and nutritious home made meal or snack from our busy kitchen!
Whilst the children are busy burning off energy, the Courtyard Café and outside seating area offers a tranquil and serene retreat for those needing to escape from those daily stresses, whilst enjoying home cooked traditional lunch, refreshing drink and tempting home made cake. If you don't have a chance to try everything or want to take home what you've just eaten... then visit our Farm Shop where speciality and local foods can be purchased, so that you can enjoy a reminder of your experience at Old Holly Farm in your own home.
Our staff are always on hand to answer your questions and help you make the most from your visit. We hope you enjoy your visit.
We look forward to welcoming you to Old Holly Farm time and time again.
