Once again we are looking forward to welcoming you into the calving and lambing sheds at our annual open day, on Saturday 21 March Binleys Bridge Farm, Debdale Lane, Smeeton Westerby, LE8 0QD. Come down to the farm between 11am – 5pm to see the cows calving and sheep lambing.  We will hopefully have a few pigs for you to see too.
