🎄🐮 Ho Ho Ho from Apple Tree Farm! 🎄🐮

Merry Christmas to all our wonderful families! This year, we’ve been blessed with so many opportunities and experiences, our hearts (and our barn) are overflowing! There was also a distinctly heavy cow theme to our beautiful cards and gifts from our children and families, as we continue our efforts to persuade some members of our team to join our cow dream.

We hope your holidays are filled with laughter, love, and maybe a little moo-sical cheer! Remember, if you see a Highland cow in a Santa hat, it’s just us trying to spread the holiday spirit!

Wishing you all a festive season filled with joy and plenty of pasture time! 🎁✨

Love,
The Apple Tree Farm Family! 🐄❤️

We had been running with a clear total of three days without incidents in the office - let’s not mention the fact that this streak is off the back of a weekend. 🤐 Unfortunately someone decided to update the website with our most recent provision report and promptly wiped that board clean by breaking the website. Fear not! It has now been fixed and if you fancied taking a peek at the latest report you can find it here:https://www.appletreefarmservices.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Report-24-25.pdf

Our farm team were very happy to step away from the mud, hay and recent sadness of the farm to enjoy a lovely Christmas outing together. A huge thank you goes out to the for hosting us with our last minute change of plans.

One half of our admin team is now on a lovely continuous break until the new year. As such the rest of the admin team are naturally a little bit panicky and a little bit overwhelmed. Please bear this in mind when you contact us as responses to emails will be much slower than usual… because unfortunately the half of the team that is left is the super slow one. 😁

This week the atmosphere has been filled with a mix of love and bittersweet emotions as we prepare to say goodbye to our beloved Angelina the alpaca. At 15 years old, Angelina has been a cherished member of our farm family, and her gentle spirit has touched the hearts of everyone, especially the children who have spent countless hours caring for her.

In the past few days, we’ve engaged in therapeutic activities that focus on emotional processing and healing. The children have been involved in creating photo cards, drawing pictures, and sharing stories about their favorite moments with Angelina. These activities have not only allowed them to express their feelings but also to celebrate the joy she has brought into their lives.

Working closely with the children, we’ve emphasized the importance of saying goodbye in a meaningful way. Discussions about loss and grief have been a central part of our conversations, helping the children understand that while Angelina will no longer be with us physically, her spirit and the memories we share will always remain.

As we prepare for her final days, our farm friends have come together to shower Angelina with extra love and care. Even our beloved Toto made a special visit to see her. The children have taken it upon themselves to bring her treats, spend time with her, and simply enjoy her presence. This experience has not only been about saying goodbye but also about understanding the cycles of life and the importance of cherishing every moment.

Angelina’s impact on the farm and the children will be cherished forever. As we navigate this difficult time, we are reminded of the beauty of connection and the lessons that come from love, loss, and the memories that last a lifetime.

🎉🐄 We love throwing celebrations at the farm, and this week, it was Lucy’s time to shine! 🌟 Lucy is an amazing TA, who’s been a trusty sidekick to one of our students, and she is off to chase new adventures. 🚀✨ Sure, we’ll miss her like a chicken misses its peeps, but we’re over the moon for all the epic things she’s about to tackle! 🎈 So, we sent her off with a big ol’ dose of joy and love—because who said goodbyes can’t be a little bit happy? Go get ‘em, Lucy! 🌻💖

We’re having a dark ages kind of day on the farm—no internet or phone service, and our mobile coverage is about as reliable as a duck crossing the road. 📱📴‼️‼️To top it off, we’re short-staffed, which means some of our team members are a bray away from losing their sense of humour and might be a heartbeat away from a meltdown. 😝 If you need us, we’ll be in our straw fort, rocking out until the world gets back on track!
