Come and meet all the Dumble Farm Fold of Highland cows on the ultimate hands-on Highland cow experience!

We currently have 30 breeding females and approximately 75 Highlands in total.

This farmer led experience starts with an introductory talk, where you’ll learn about the history of the farm and the role Highland cows play in our conservation scheme, followed by a safety briefing.

We will then bring 6 of our super cute fluffy young Highland cows out on halters, for you to meet, groom, and cuddle. The young Highlands are very friendly and love being fussed over by our guests! You will learn all about your new furry friends, combing their hair, giving them chin scratches (they love chin scratches!), getting to know their different personalities and of course getting plenty of photos. 

Next board the Dumble bus and head off on a safari to meet our main fold of Highland cows, with their dramatic horns, long flowing coats and cute dossans (fringes). You’ll be able to feed the cows from the trailer, and from this raised viewpoint get a great overview of the whole Fold while learning all about the vital part they play in habitat creation.  There will of course be plenty more photo opportunities!

But the hands-on part of the tour doesn’t end there, as when we head back to the farm you’ll get to meet and cuddle our super friendly fussy goats!

We finish off with tea/coffee and Farmer Fi’s  home baked cakes, made with many ingredients grown here on the farm. There is plenty of time while you have a brew, to have a friendly chat with the Dumble Farm farmers, who will be happy to answer any of your questions about the cows, conservation or their farming lives here in East Yorkshire.
