Hatching and Hissing to life!
01 July 2009
Lots of chicks and ducklings hatch everyday in the incubator room here at White Post Farm. But not far away, in the Reptile House, lots of other exciting creatures are hatching too!
As you can see in the picture we have had some cute little corn snakes hatch this week. It takes them a few days to get out the egg, but once they have they look great with really cool colours. Although they are tiny now they will grow to about four feet long! They are really good to handle and you can meet one for yourself at our daily Meet a Reptile sessions. You can even buy them from our on-site shop – Farnsfield Reptiles!
Sssssee you all ssssoon!!

Move Over Darren… Or maybe not….
11 June 2009
Darren the Waving Goat is a YouTube sensation. He has over 100,000 hits and is getting lots of attention from our visitors! But a few of our cutest baby goats are very jealous so have decided to show how much talent they have. With the help of Farmer Sophie they have formed the White Post Farm Goat Display Team! 
As you can see in the video of their Human/Goat Pyramid, they have lots of practicing to do before they are as good as Darren!!! But they are definitely very cute!
You can bottle feed these little monsters everyday at White Post Farm!
Keep trying Kids!!!

Regular visitors to White Post Farm may have met Darren the waving goat. He is always friendly and loves to meet people.
Well he is turning into a really big star as his youtube hits race up and up!!! Darren has been visited by photographers and journalists from around the country and has now appeared in national newspapers and even on a prime-time ITV1 show!
Over the weekend he has even appeared on the Sun’s website! We have also been contacted by the BBC for interviews on Radio Nottingham and Radio 5 Live. Unfortunately Darren had to recruit Farmer Emily as his spokes-person due to the fact he can’t talk….. YET!
Anyway – click here for the original clip of Darren to remind you all what a cool dude he is!!

…Astrid!!!
Here is the winner of the Fun Guinea Pig Show 2009! I think you’ll agree she is a very cool customer! With a haircut like that she was always in with a shout!
Astrid is a very lucky Guinea Pig as we found out when we spoke to her owner, Sue Tate. Sue has over 30 little guineas and has started her own Guinea Pig sanctuary, Cavy Corner. This means Sue and her excellent team of volunteers are doing a really important job in caring for and rehabilitating lots of guineas that end up at the sanctuary. It all began around one year ago and is growing all the time. As you can see from the picture of Astrid, they are looked after extremely well! Our Judge, Jenny was impressed with the exellent condition of all the guineas that Sue and the team entered into the show.
We were really pleased to meet her and hear about the great work that goes on at Cavy Corner. If you would like to contact Sue with any inquiries about the Sanctuary, you can do so on 01302 787509
So well done to Sue, Astrid and all the volunteers at Cavy Corner – we hope to see you all again down on the Farm.

Well Done Spike!!

This Sunday was the Fun Guinea Pig Show down on the Farm and it was great to see so many gorgeous guineas and proud owners. Guinea Pigs are fantastic animals and make really good pets so we were really pleased to see 85 of them entered into the show. There was so many to chose from but our judge, Jenny eventually chose a Champion and Reserve Champion.
The Reserve Champion, Spike, got to the final through the Most Handsome Male catagory and he definately deserved his title. In the picture you can see Spike and his owner Baglee Walsh who does a great job of looking after his Pet!
We would like to thank everyone for coming to the Show and hope you all had a nice day down on the Farm. We have lots more events to come this year so don’t forget to keep checking the events page!
Thanks again,
Farmer Sarah.
Ducky Adlington!!!

Our local Olympic Hero Becky Adlington would be proud of this little duckling! Watch the video and see if you can spot the fantastic sommersault on the way into the pond. Not sure the little duck meant it but very cool anyway!!
These fantastic little swimmers are the first wild ducklings of 2009 and just in time for Easter. We are really lucky to have these cuties on our pond. I could watch them for ages, swimming around and exploring their new home! When I got this video they were in the small pond, like they were having swimming lessons ready for the big pond in few days! Ha!
Easter is great down on the Farm, you can pop into the incubator room and see some ducklings and chicks hatching out, or watch the wild ones swimming happily with mum.
Hope to see you all soon,
Until then – Happy Easter me ducks!! 
Farmer Anthony.

Arrr! Cute or what!??? The weather is getting hotter and brighter and the animals are loving it! The lovely spring lambs are out in the paddocks with their mums so you can see and feed them yourself! It’s great seeing them playing and running around. This little lamb in the picture was sticking close by mum but others were running round the paddocks! I even saw one standing on a llama!!! Strange but true!
Come along and see all the amazing animals out in the paddocks in the holidays. Plus – chicks and ducklings hatching into life in the incubator room – perfect for Easter!
See you soon,
Farmer Anthony
Winners and Losers!
31 March 2009
Last night was the Nottinghamshire Farm Tourism Group Quiz Night and leaflet launch at Patchings Art Centre. We went along and had lots of fun! There were 23 teams from all over the county, from attractions like us to Hotels and Farm Shops.
Amazingly, one of The White Post Farm teams came first and won the Trophy!! However, slightly less surprisingly, our other team came in 23rd place – last! 
You can see the winners and losers in the picture: Jo, Auntie Betty, Dave and Brian were Champs and Rebecca, Ayshea, Dave and Anthony were the proud losers.
The Farm Tourism Group promotes all the amazing things that Nottinghamshire has to offer. The new website is nearly ready and until then you can download the lovely new leaflet by clicking here.
Well done Jo and Betty!

A Windy Start to Life!!!
25 March 2009
What a time to be born! This week we have had two beautiful baby llamas born. A baby llama is called a cria and they are a little unsteady on their feet at first. So it was extra difficult for our newborns as the wind has been blowing all around the Farm! However, before we knew it they were charging around the paddocks like race horses!
Both the llamas are girls and their mums are taking really good care of them, as you can see in the picture. This one was born on Monday and is already proving popular with visitors. It is great that we have two crias at the same time as they can play and explore and run around together!
It is not long until Easter now so why not pop down and see them yourselves? You can even grab a bag of food from the gate and give them a snack!
See you soon,
Farmer Anthony
