I know its tough for campers to have rain on an August bank holiday weekend but it was so needed. We had a dry spring and exceptionally low rainfall in June, July and August and officially in drought status since the end of July. For a farmer this means that the grass doesn’t grow. We … Read more
This August has continued to be very hot and dry so we have taken the decision to ask for no campfires, disposable bbqs or ground bbqs. Just wanting to keep everyone safe.
Sadly we had to cancel this year’s baby goat open day on Sunday 7th April. The fields have been subject to such continual rain that they are just not getting a chance to dry out. In the past we have had several hundred visitors so use our fields as a car park but the fields … Read more
Happy new year! The goats are all happy and dry in the barn while we weather yet another storm. I’m certainly looking forward to some drier weather as the ground is saturated and the river really high. 2024 will be a year of planning as we hope to apply for some agroforestry grants ready for … Read more

Well this has been a pretty strange year – from a business sense, quite scary at the start of lockdown with no campers allowed, no markets but still goats producing milk. The good news was that we just got planning permission for our house so that kept Ian busy and the other great thing was … Read more
Following government guidelines, we are able to open again on weekend of 4th July. Easy to socially distance here at Wookey Farm as the pitches are spaced out and the meadow field is easily big enough to get more than 6m away from each other. We’ll keep the toilets cleaned regularly. To help avoid cross-contamination, … Read more
Sadly we will have to close the campsite until the guidance changes with regard to coronavirus. If you are already booked in with us in April, we’ll be in touch shortly to see about changing dates or refunds. Thanks for your understanding.
