The Education Farm at Dumfries House is a truly unique setting. Countryside education and connecting younger generations to the provenance of food are the motivations behind the learning initiatives we host.

Opening its doors to the public during the Easter holidays, our staff will introduce you to native and rare-breed animals that call Valentin's Farm their home. Breeds include Landrace pigs, Castlemilk Moorit sheep, Scots Grey chickens and the Cröllwitzer turkey, a personal favourite of His Majesty.

On the 4th and 11th of April, we are delighted to host tours of the farm, letting people get up close and personal with some of our cutest creatures.
