Acorn Farm offers a fun and educational day out for all the family in Kirkby, Liverpool. Meet and feed the animals, check out the 2 fun-filled play areas or take a stroll through the woodland walk. During weekends and Knowsley school holidays, horse rides and small animal petting sessions are available for a small extra charge (see below). Our animals include sheep, cows, goats, pigs, horses and chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs and even meerkats! We’re a working farm, so we often have baby animals including lambs, goat kids, piglets and chicks to see too. Other facilities include a cafe serving delicious home-cooked meals, farm shop selling souvenirs, refreshments and free-range home produce and a garden centre.

Help Us Build Acorn Farm’s New Hub

Why We Need a New Farm Hub
Our existing farm building was constructed in 1987, when Acorn Farm was established, and is no longer suitable for the number of visitors we now welcome. We therefore have ambitious plans to build a new farm hub with a much larger shop and café, improved toilet facilities and better accessibility for visitors, service users and staff.

With the need for improved facilities continuing to grow, now is the right time to turn this long-held dream into reality.

For several years, our landlord, KMBC, has wanted to reconfigure the farm by relocating the Moses paddocks to an adjoining site. This would release the existing Moses paddocks and adjacent fields for commercial development, generating much-needed income for the borough.

After extensive discussion, we agreed that KMBC would fund the relocation of the services and facilities from the Moses paddocks to the new site. This work included new paddocks, fencing, animal shelters, paths and a water supply. As our lease did not have long to run, agreeing to the proposal also helped us secure the farm’s future.

Our New Site
Our new site is now open, with new paddocks and shelters in place. The paddocks are home to:
• Donkeys
• Goats
• Sheep
• Cattle
These animals are rotated with those on the main farm site to support their care and grazing needs.
We have also made use of the land reserved for the new building by creating an additional grazing paddock. The animals will continue to use this area until we have raised enough funds to build the new farm hub.
Our Plans for the New Hub
In the meantime, plans have been drawn up for the new farm hub. DK Architects in Liverpool have generously contributed their time and expertise, helping us develop our ideas and incorporate them into the building’s design.
How You Can Help
However, before we can make this vision a reality, we need your help.
We need to raise a substantial sum to build the new farm hub and bring these much-needed improvements to life.
