At Ballybrook Farm we love showing people our Highland cattle and Highland ponies, as well as what happens on our small, working farm. We are passionate about educating people on all things Highland, and also on how we look after the land with regenerative farming.
There are Highland calves around all year, and usually Highland foals, and there is always the possibility of getting up close and personal with some of the animals by way of Highland Cow Experiences (farm tours), accommodation packages, paint and sip events and for those who really want to record the experience , photo sessions are available with our photographer.
