When we made the difficult decision to close the farm for a period, we were completely overwhelmed by the messages we received from families who had visited The Watering Hole over the years. So many people got in touch to tell us how much their visits had meant to them, with countless families saying that lamb feeding had become a yearly tradition. Many shared that they had been coming back year after year for three or even four seasons, bringing children, friends and grandparents to experience the magic of spring on the farm.

 

Over the years, lamb feeding has become about more than just the lambs. It’s about the wonderful characters who have become part of the Watering Hole story too — familiar favourites like Betty, Pamela and Larry, who many visitors still remember fondly from their time on the farm.
