What we’re celebrating: 25 Years of The Pink Pig Farm
It’s hard to believe it all began with a simple idea… and a slightly chilly trestle table.
2001 – Starting out (in the cold!)
Back in 2001, we opened a tiny farm shop and a 24-seater café at the end of our drive, after realising that selling our own homegrown food directly to local people was something truly special.
Before that, we’d even tried selling from our cold little “egg shed”, and when customers kept coming, we knew we had to take the leap.
From there, things grew, steadily, and always with families at heart.
2005-2010: Steadily getting bigger
By 2005, we expanded the shop and café as more people discovered us. Around the same time, visitors began asking if they could see the animals… so we brought some of our animals onto a “trail”, then a few more, along with a small play area too. And without quite realising it, we had begun our journey into family days out.
2014: The turning point: soft play!
A real turning point came in 2014 with the opening of our indoor playbarn, giving children a place to play whatever the weather (a lesson I wish I’d learnt earlier: don’t worry about the weather!).
Over the years, we’ve added more and more for families to enjoy; from imaginative play areas and jumping pillows to tractor rides, sandpits and climbing spaces. We’ve always believed that simple, outdoor play - a bit of mud, a lot of imagination - is where the magic really happens.
All through the journey, most of our profits have gone straight back into updating the farm park to turn it into a place parents can rely on for fresh air and fun. There have been other big milestones too:
2016: A toyshop and improved visitor areas.
2019: New play experiences (Piggy Tale Lane, jumping pillows, ride-on tractors and ever-growing adventures – always focusing on authentic, homegrown food and family fun).
2021: Along came the big climbing pyramids and construction sandpit.
dreadful moment in our history made lighter by the love and support of our wonderful customers.
2026: We picked ourselves back up and opened a brand new covered outdoor play barn. And we celebrate 25 years of Pink Pig adventures!
Through it all, we’ve stayed true to what matters most; good food, family, farming, and our local community.
2022: Next was a new climbing area for toddlers and a nest swing for younger visitors.
2023: Our beautiful wedding venue, The Old Wheat Barn, opened (clearing it out has to be the most successful of my many Covid lockdown projects!). It was a busy year, as our very first Pig Fest bringing music and community together too.
2024: We added a go-kart track in for even more excitement
2025: An arson attack destroyed our much loved hay bale play barn. Farmer Anna leapt into action putting out the fire with her tractor. The community was so kind; a
The Greatest Joy Along the Way: You!
Some of our greatest joys have been the people. Families who visited us as children now bringing their own little ones. Team members who have been with us for decades.
And our own children growing up here, with the freedom of the farm (and the occasional bit of mischief involving tractor rides and hidden ponds!).
We’ve learnt a lot along the way, not least that optimism carries you through the hard days, and that the simplest things often bring the biggest smiles.
Looking Ahead: the Next 25 Years!
We’re so proud of our roots and everything we’ve built together, and we’re not stopping here.
Most of what we make goes straight back into the farm, into new ideas, new play, and better experiences for families like yours.
There’s still a very long wish list… So this celebration isn’t just about looking back; it’s about everything still to come. We’d absolutely love to see you at our Pink Pig Birthday Party on 15th August.
