❤️ After all your hard work we wish you all the very best with your opening , well done to all of you 👏👏👏
❤️ A dream two years in the making… and one that means more than words can ever say. ❤️
There have been so many moments over the last two years where we wondered if we’d ever get to write this post. The long days, sleepless nights, setbacks, stress, tears and celebrations have all led to this moment…
🌿 𝗚𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗦 𝗙𝗔𝗥𝗠 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗬 – 𝟮𝟭𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲! 🌿
Our Farm Shop, Deli, Café and Petting Farm are finally opening their doors, and we cannot believe we can finally say it.
This isn’t just the opening of a new business. This is the fulfilment of a dream that started with one man’s crazy idea…
Our Dad. Our Sidney. ❤️
Two years ago, he had this vision of creating somewhere families could come together, children could experience farm life, people could enjoy good food, support local produce and make memories that would last a lifetime. To many people it probably sounded a little mad… but if you knew our dad, you’d know he never did anything by halves.
Sadly, in October 2025, we lost him to cancer before he got the chance to see his vision become reality. He never got to walk through these doors as a customer, hear children laughing as they met the animals or sit with a coffee watching everything he had imagined come to life.
Anyone who knew him knows he was an absolute legend. Larger than life, full of ideas, endlessly determined and someone who made a lasting impression on everyone he met. There isn’t a single day that goes by where we don’t wish he was here to see this.
Every fence that’s been built, every animal that’s arrived, every shelf that’s been stocked and every corner that’s been created has been done with him in our hearts.
And now, this Friday, 21st August 2026, we finally get to open the gates and welcome you all in. ❤️
🐐 Our Petting Farm will be open, ready for you to meet all of our wonderful animals.
🛍️ Our Farm Shop & Deli will be open, stocked with a growing range of produce, treats and everyday essentials.
☕ Our Café will also be open, serving drinks, cakes and a selection of light bites while we put the finishing touches to our full menu and kitchen. We have so much more planned, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
🎟️ Tickets aren’t available to purchase online just yet, but keep your eyes peeled — we’ll be sharing more information very soon!
🚧 We do ask for a little patience while we complete the outdoor area. The emu enclosure and pond walk, along with our children’s play park, are still under construction. We’d rather open our doors now and continue building this special place with you than keep you waiting any longer.
This is only the beginning. We have so many exciting plans for the future, and we hope you’ll enjoy watching us grow.
Finally, thank you.
To everyone who has supported us over the last two years, encouraged us when things felt impossible, shared our journey and believed in this dream, we honestly couldn’t have done it without you.
If you could like, comment and share this post, it would mean the world to us. Every share helps us reach another family, another supporter and another person who can become part of what we’re building.
Dad, this one’s for you. We only wish you were here to see it.
We hope we’ve made you proud. ❤️
📍 Gripps Farm, Brotton, Saltburn-by-the-Sea
We can’t wait to welcome you all through our gates and begin this next chapter together.
See you Friday. 🌾🐄🐐❤️
