Lambing and Calving season:

Summerhill is a working sheep, cattle, and forestry farm. During lambing and calving seasons (August to September), we invite you to visit and explore the farm, enjoying all that spring has to offer! During this time, we kindly ask that visitors exercise extra caution around the animals for both your safety and theirs.
