Farm wanted to become new home of Hoof Prints Miniature Haven

The operators of a rare breeds care farm for children are looking for a new host farm. Farmers looking to diversify are invited to contact Hoof Prints Miniature Haven, who are urgently seeking new premises anywhere in the UK.

"We are looking to relocate ASAP due to our current farm changing to commercial storage units. A rare breed centre will run alongside our registered charity offering education and therapy.

Open to any sized property, anywhere in the UK, with a house on or near the property, housing for animals, yard areas and grazing areas However, we are happy to take on a property with limited grazing as all animals live inside during winter.

Long-term is preferred but we are open to any offers. We are happy to take on the project as we can apply for agricultural and charity grants to upgrade the property. References available including from Polly Gibb OBE of Harper Adams University.
