Farmyard Fun at Humble Bee Farm
Our farmyard gang is one of the highlights at Humble Bee Farm, with our resident four-legged and two-legged friends just waiting to say ‘hello’ to our guests.
If you are staying with us, you can join Farmer Percy every morning at 9am prompt on his rounds!
Meet Madge
Dogs are a big part of life here at Humble Bee!
We have our Border Collie, Alfie, our Dascshund Winnie, pup Boris, and we also have Madge as part of the pawsome pack.
Madge is a female Border Collie who is an absolute bundle of joy.
Her photo below was taken when she was a pup.
You might see her out walking with Farmer Percy so keep your eyes and ears open!
Birds of a Feather
Our chicken run is looking very fine with lots of feathered friends making a new appearance.
Our cheerful chucks include some new arrivals who just love pecking about all day.
We can hear them clucking contentedly as they enjoy the sunshine and look forward to being fed by Farmer Percy.
Of course, they are laying some truly delicious eggs.
Our little visitors can have one egg a day each (if the hens are laying), and you can’t get much fresher than that!
Sheep and Lambs
Our lambing season is always busy one and we’re already taking bookings for Lambing 2026!
We have Texel ewes and other breeds who love the open field of Humble Bee Farm.
Our lambing time is usually in March, and all our expectant mums are kept warm and snug in one of our barns ready for giving birth.
Duckpond Dramas
Another favourite of the farmyard are our ducks!
They adore quaking about all day, enjoying the duck pond and keeping their beaks and feathers nice and clean.
Our ducks like nothing better than gathering for their daily swims and see what our guests get up to.
Talk to Tilly
Our Shetland Pony, Tilly, is now one of the most popular members of the farmyard gang!
This pot-bellied pony is very friendly and will whinny her ‘hellos’ to anyone who’ll listen.
She adores juicy carrots, tasty apples and other snacks loves shaking your mane and seeing everyone here at Humble Bee Farm.
Alpaca Antics
We have a selection of alpacas here at Humble Bee Farm.
These large-eyes, long-necked animals are quite happy chewing away at the grass, and keeping an eye on all the goings on of Humble Bee.
In the Summer, you can join us for some Alpaca Adventures! Our 2026 dates will be announced soon.
Valais Blacknosed Sheep
We welcome a small flock of Valais Sheep!
This cute breed with their black faces and curly fleeces originally come from Switzerland.
They can be seen hanging around together enjoying the Humble Bee Farm pastures.
Darling Donkeys
We have two retired donkeys on our farm, Jessica and Daisy.
They are such peaceful animals and often linger by the gate to see who is out and about.
Smaller animals
We also have our cute guinea pigs in their own spacious hutches, and our guinea fowls, which have distinct dotted feathers.
Stretch Those Legs
And if you love a nice stroll or a longer walk, we now have three farm walks that take you around the perimeters of our fields and pastures.
We’ve had new signage put in place and lots of new fencing to keep our animals and humans safe.
We have Piggy Back Walk, Merry Dale, and Staxton View, all with stunning views.
The walks are a great way to get some fresh air, spot the incredible wildlife and enjoy the big open skies of the Yorkshire Wolds.
Remember to bring suitable footwear the walks are on uneven ground.
They are well signposted but if in doubt, ask a member of staff for more information.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
