💔 A sad update on our beautiful Olive.

After a long and challenging recovery journey, we’ve made the heartbreaking decision to stop treatment. It certainly wasn’t an easy choice, but we felt it was time to let Olive go peacefully rather than continue with further treatment.

We chose to donate Olive to the big cats, allowing her to provide nourishment and contribute to the care of other animals.

Thank you to everyone who has followed Olive’s journey and cared about how she was doing. Your kindness and support have meant so much to us.

Rest peacefully, beautiful Olive.

Olive is doing well. It’s definitely going to be a long road to recovery, but she’s getting there slowly.

Lots of rest, care and patience for this girl while she heals. 🥰

We’ll keep taking it one day at a time. 💕

Whilst we are talking Ostriches- check out the size of their eggs!!
Equivalent of 24 chicken eggs in one Ostrich egg.

The beautiful side of caring for animals… and the side that tests you. ❤️ 🪶

One of the greatest privileges of Lafon Acres is being able to care for so many incredible animals. To give them a safe place, a full belly, a little love, and the chance to simply be themselves is something I never take for granted. ❤️

You find yourself researching, learning, changing dressings, monitoring every little change, losing sleep and constantly wondering, “What more can I do?”

And sometimes, when you’re desperately trying to help an animal and the professional support you hoped would be there simply doesn’t step up, you’re left having to dig deeper than you ever thought you could.

You learn as you go. You make decisions based on what is in front of you. And you fight for that animal because they can’t tell you what’s wrong or advocate for themselves.

It can be exhausting. It can be heartbreaking. And honestly, sometimes it can feel incredibly lonely.

But then they look at you, they trust you, they let you care for them… and you remember exactly why you do it.

We don’t always have all the answers. But we will always do everything we can with what we have, keep learning, keep advocating and keep showing up for the animals who depend on us. ❤️

Thank you for being apart of our journey!

We’re not your usual farmyard!

At Lafon Acres, our animals are brought down to specially designed pens, creating a unique opportunity for close-up interaction and memorable encounters. With everything conveniently located in one area, visitors can enjoy a hands-on farm experience that’s accessible, engaging, and fun for all ages.

Excitingly, we’ll soon be opening for smaller public bookings, so more families, animal lovers, and visitors can come and experience the charm of Lafon Acres for themselves.

KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON US 🥰

🐴 Florence the Pony

Meet Florence, our lovely pony with a gentle heart and a calm nature. Ponies are smaller than horses but are known for being strong, intelligent, and hardy. Florence is a herbivore and spends much of her day grazing on grass and hay. Like all equines, she communicates through body language — watch her ears and you’ll see how she’s feeling!

Florence is one of a kind- friendly, patient (most say bullet proof!) a much loved favourite for visitors learning how to safely approach and interact with horses — and yes, you can even enjoy a gentle ride on her, making for a special and memorable farm experience!
