The perfect gift for the family and friends.

It’s impossible to visit the Aldingbourne Country Centre's Farm and not fall in love with one – or all – of the animals! Their adoption packages give anyone the chance to bring a part of the farm into their family. From alpacas to pigs, goats to geese, there are plenty of animals to choose from and through doing so you will be supporting the work of the Aldingbourne Trust and helping make a difference to the people they support.

I went down for a visit to the farm this morning to see who I’d choose to adopt. It was great fun going around and meeting all the animals, some were very friendly and inquisitive, others were more interested in their breakfast! Now normally goats are my farm favourites, but it was the pigs today that made me laugh out loud with their grunting and snuffling. I decided that I would like to adopt Horace the Kune Kune pig. He looked quite happy in his muddy home with his friend Rosemary – it looked like he had a big smile on his face!

I can't wait to receive my adoption package – most of all the chance to visit the farm again especially to meet Horace up close. I’d get the chance to feed him, give him his favourite tummy tickle, and have the opportunity to learn some interesting facts from our friendly farm staff.

Also included in my adoption package is a personalised certificate, photo and a fact sheet on Horace, it’s a great way to get involved in the farm and learn more about all sorts of different animals. Plus, I will receive regular updates and photos on how Horace is doing throughout the year.
