A trip back in time...

The farm began as a patch of wasteland between the railway tracks before being transformed into the little piece of paradise you see today. What began as a small collection of rescue animals soon grew, before opening to the public in 2003 and the Totnes Rare Breeds Farm was born. Throughout the years, the farm has seen many owners, all with the shared ambition of caring for animals; this is especially the case with the new owners, the Forster Family.

The goal

One of our main aims at the farm is to help in the conservation of rare breeds. From chickens and ducks to Welsh Mountain sheep and Golden Guernsey Goats, we are trying to do our bit to aid in their survival.

We believe that interaction with animals is important, whether you are 1 years old or 101! Don't miss out on our adorable new arrivals... who are certain to turn you into a an animal fanatic! Purchase a bag of animal feed on entry and you will soon be everyone's best friend...just watch out for the greedy goats! 

Our friendly team of staff and volunteers are always on hand to help you make the most of your experience and answer any questions you may have.
