Greenmeadow Community Farm is set to reopen after a multi-million pound redevelopment.
The Torfaen attraction has added a host of new amenities and animals, including a Cuddle Corner, where children can get up close and personal with animals such as tortoises and rabbits, a llama-pen, an adventure park and space to feed and play with goats, cows, horses and goats.
A new restaurant, The Farmer’s Table, can be used without having to purchase farm tickets. The menu includes full-cooked breakfasts, bacon rolls, pastries, pizzas, burgers and paninis, as well as a range of drinks and snacks. The venue is also fully licensed.
Greenmeadow remains a genuine working farm. Guests can watch seasonal demonstrations, such as milking, and meet animals in the upgraded Animal Barn. The site also includes a beekeeper’s hut, where the farm produces its own honey.
The Haybarn is also now available to book for weddings, parties and corporate events, fully catered for by The Farmer’s Table.
The farm is widely accessible and fully-dog friendly, with well-behaved dogs on a lead allowed to join the family, although they cannot access the Cuddle Corner.
Jac Griffiths, Greenmeadow Community Farm Manager, said:
“The countdown is on. We’re only days away from reopening now and we can’t wait to welcome visitors back to the site. There’s some fantastic new spaces to explore, and we’re excited for people to come and watch the farm grow with us.”
Cllr Fiona Cross, Torfaen Council's Executive Member for Communities, added:
“So many people have wonderful memories of visiting Greenmeadow Community Farm. Our investment in the farm and the new facilities will provide the next generation of visitors with the same opportunities to make great family memories and learn about animals, food and farming, and we’re really excited to have everyone back.”
Greenmeadow Community Farm officially reopens to the public on Saturday 13 September.
