Donate to Farmer Palmers Animals
Customers have asked us “How can we donate”. We were surprised at the strength of feeling that people still want to donate ready for us being able to re-open in April 2021. Your money will go directly to animal feed and bedding, health & welfare of our animals. For which we are grateful.
If you prefer to receive something in return for your money we suggest our Adopt our animals scheme which will be ready Early March 21.
“It is really important that we continue to manage our money well, keep all costs to a minimum and ensure the animals stay in their best condition to greet everyone as soon as Lockdown 3 is over.” Sandra Palmer-Snellin, Director

The bills to feed the animals is over £1,400 a month. In addition we give fresh fruit and vegetables (of which some are being kindly donated by a local shop!)
The bedding, hay , shavings and straw (for your favourite cows, goats, sheep, ponies, pigs etc, totals over £400 a month (one big bale of hay costs over £45).
The vets bills for general health and well being vary as per the time of year. Yes animals need their vaccinations, teeth maintained as well as their paws and claws! Imagine being a pony with an abcess in your hoof!

Testimonial From Sarah A
“It was a real connect with nature being in the fields surrounded by flowers, trees and animals. Never underestimate the power of feeding animals because it brings so much pleasure to adults and children.
It was so nice to see everyone enjoying themselves, seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter when feeding the goats and deer. You don’t need to go far to have a great day out with your family. Right now it is so important to support local businesses and even more important to support friends and family too. Covid19 really gave us all a shake up and now it’s up to us to support each other.
