Donkeys
Boaz members help look after three donkeys that live on the farm. Their names are ‘Skye’ (who is the mum) and ‘Michael Finnigan’ (son) and ‘Iona’ (daughter). All three are very friendly and love human company. When the weather is nice we sometimes take them for walks around the fields and woods. They really enjoy this! They also help by carrying baskets to collect Blackberries, Apples and Elderflowers.
The donkeys often need grooming which is something else we help with. Most mornings we lead them from their stables to our field where they help keep the grass down. We also use their manure on our vegetable plots. They get very excited (and noisy!) when they hear humans approaching and bray loudly to say hello.
There are two horses on the farm as well and we also help groom them. Their names are Angus and Camilla.
Work Experience Opportunities
Boaz can facilitate work towards the Duke Of Edinburgh Award, and can sometimes arrange work experience for secondary school students.
