Highland Cow experience with afternoon tea
With my wife, Lynda I have experienced a thoroughly enjoyable gifted experience today, at the Quex Farm (Birchington) activity centre. This was to get up close to a small herd of Highland Cows, feed them and brush them. And enjoy their company for a while. We made our own way to the farm site and were able to park in one of the spacious field car parks set aside by the organisers. Luckily we enjoyed glorious warm weather. There are a host of experience opportunities at Quex Farm, including meeting beautiful goats, rabbits, pigs and Highland Cows. Also many opportunities to enjoy hot and cold refreshments, including cooked meals at many facilities dotted around the site. And at the Quex barn restaurant, where I have previously enjoyed many delicious meals! Back to the Highland Cows! We enjoyed a friendly and very informative guided introduction to the cows from Emily. A delightful 45 minutes including opportunities to brush and feed the gentle giants, who were expertly monitored throughout. Thank you Emily! From the cows we were taken to a delightful wooden cafe with plenty of seating and shade and views across the Quex Farm fields. Also hand washing facilities, essential after touching the Cows! A delicious and freshly prepared afternoon tea awaited us courtesy of James and Daniel. Who also supplied plenty of hot coffee. Thank you guys! Really delicious food and refreshments. And a great end to the day and experience!
