Accessibility

We do everything we can to make Roves Farm accessible to as many people as possible.  The Animal Barns, Indoor Play & Activity Barn, Café, Farm Shop & Butchery, outdoor picnic areas and Tractor Rides are all accessible via hard core or concrete single level walkways.

Unfortunately we are unable to offer wheelchair accessible tractor rides at the moment.

There are accessible toilet and hand washing facilities, and an easy drop off point by Reception if needed (please just call ahead for directions on 01793 763939).

The animal paddocks, Activity Trail and animal racing are accessed via grass paths which may not be accessible for all depending on ground conditions and your individual mobility.

Farm Shop & Butchery

 

Open every day, 9am – 5pm, selling Roves reared meats & homemade cakes, locally sourced milk and cheese, jams, chutneys, preserves and ales and ciders. Seasonal fruit & veg, fresh eggs from our own chickens and lots more besides.

Roves Refills is our zero waste pantry that will allow you to buy all your store cupboard ingredients such as pasta, cereals, granola, rapeseed oil, nuts, seeds & even sweets without a plastic wrapper in sight.  Just bring along your own clean jars or containers to re-use, or buy from us and get filling!

The Moo Station is our self serve milk machine dispensing fresh whole or semi-skimmed milk from a local dairy just six miles away.
