With harvest set to be early this year, we have a little extra time to show you around the farm. We'd love to share our cattle, market garden, regenerative farming practices and plenty of good food with you. We hope you can join us for one of our summer farm walks.
Join us for tea and homemade cake before setting off on a guided walk around the farm. We'll visit our Longhorn cattle, stop by James' Market Garden to see what's in season, and meet the chickens along the way. As we explore, we'll share how regenerative farming helps build healthy soils, support wildlife and improve the quality of the food we produce. We'll also introduce some of the farm's smallest but hardest-working residents – dung beetles – and explain the important role they play in soil health and nutrient cycling.
Take a summer evening stroll through the river meadow and around the farm, visiting our Longhorn cattle, James' Market Garden and the chickens. Along the way, learn how we're working with nature to improve soil health, increase biodiversity and build a resilient farming system. We'll uncover the surprising importance of dung beetles and other soil life that help keep our pastures thriving. Afterwards, we'll return to the farm for a homemade supper showcasing the best of Cranley produce, including our own beef and seasonal ingredients fresh from the garden.
Start your Sunday morning with a peaceful walk around the farm before the day warms up. Discover what's happening across the farm throughout the summer, from grazing cattle to growing vegetables, and learn how healthy soil sits at the heart of everything we do. We'll explore how nature, livestock and even dung beetles work together to create a productive and resilient farm. Afterwards, return to the farmyard for freshly brewed coffee and pastries from our bakery.
Make a morning of it at Cranley. Enjoy coffee and pastries on arrival before joining us for an extended guided farm walk. We'll share our regenerative farming journey, visit the cattle, market garden and chickens, and take a closer look at what lies beneath our feet. Discover how healthy soils are built, why they're essential for food production and biodiversity, and the important part played by creatures such as dung beetles in keeping our farm ecosystem functioning. We'll then head back for a relaxed homemade lunch featuring produce from the farm and James' garden.
Your ticket includes refreshments as detailed in the event description. Additional drinks, along with our farm-produced meat, eggs and other produce, will be available to purchase from the shop.
Unfortunately, we are unable to welcome pets, including dogs, on our farm walks.
The walk will begin outside the Cranley Barn farm shop (postcode MK19 6DD) and will be led by Tom and James.
We are a working farm with livestock, machinery and uneven ground. Please wear suitable footwear and clothing for the weather conditions. We will be walking through fields, long grass and on uneven terrain, and the walk will go ahead in most weather conditions.
For everyone's safety, we ask that you follow all instructions and guidance provided during the walk and observe any signs or notices around the farm. Please do not touch any machinery, equipment or animals unless specifically invited to do so—we'd like everyone to leave with the same number of fingers they arrived with!
Children are very welcome but must remain under the supervision of a responsible adult at all times.
If food is included in your event and you have any allergies or dietary requirements, please let us know in advance so we can do our best to accommodate them.
As this is a working farm, we recommend washing hands before eating and after any contact with the farm environment.
Please note that toilet facilities are limited and consist of a portable toilet.
If you have any questions ahead of your visit, please do not hesitate to contact Mary on 07967 814842.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cranley Barn.
