A Community Farm Rooted in Sustainability and Care
Holly Hagg Community Farm is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to sustainable farming and community engagement. Situated on three acres of land in Sheffield's Rivelin Valley, the farm focuses on organic food growing and animal welfare, cultivating a harmonious environment where alpacas, llamas, mini pigs, and poultry thrive. The farm operates with a strong ethos of environmental stewardship and social benefit, inviting volunteers to contribute to its upkeep and development.Alpaca and Llama Treks Through Scenic Countryside
One of the farm’s standout features is its guided alpaca and llama treks, which offer visitors the chance to walk alongside these gentle animals through woodland trails and picturesque countryside. These treks provide a peaceful and engaging way to connect with nature and the animals, with calm alpacas chosen especially for younger participants. The treks typically last between one and two hours and require advance booking due to their popularity and limited group sizes.Engaging Experiences Beyond Trekking
While the farm is not open for casual drop-in visits, it hosts special events such as family open hours where visitors can meet and feed alpacas, pond dip, and interact with chickens. These events offer a hands-on experience for families and animal lovers, fostering a deeper appreciation for rural life and animal care. Volunteer sessions held twice weekly also provide opportunities for fresh air, friendship, and contributing to the farm’s wellbeing.A Tranquil Setting in Sheffield’s Rivelin Valley
Nestled in a lush valley, Holly Hagg offers a tranquil escape from urban life. The surrounding woodland and open spaces create a serene backdrop for treks and farm activities. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful ambience, scenic views, and the calming presence of the animals, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation and gentle outdoor adventure.Animal Welfare and Visitor Safety
The farm adheres strictly to animal welfare guidelines, ensuring that the alpacas and other animals are well cared for and comfortable during interactions. Alpacas are rarely spooked, and when they are, handlers are ready to manage the situation calmly. This attention to welfare extends to visitors, with special provisions for children and groups to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.Community and Environmental Impact
Beyond being a tourist attraction, Holly Hagg Community Farm serves as a vital community hub promoting sustainable agriculture, education, and wellbeing.
