Who we are
About the farm
We are Ali and Fi, two farming sisters running our family's working farm in Risley near Warrington, on the Cheshire–Lancashire border. We open the farm to the public only for seasonal, booking-only events: Meet the Lambs in spring, pumpkin picking from late September to October on our 7-acre (about 2.8 ha) patch with over 40 varieties, and the Deck the Barn Christmas concert and markets in December. Visitors can meet our sheep, pigs, calves and donkeys; from April to August our Uproot Coffee trailer in the farmyard is open Friday to Sunday, and Christmas turkeys are collected on 23–24 December.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
