This coming Easter 2024, we’re opening the doors of our Lunan Bay Farm Goat Nurseries for the second time, on Sat 30th March, Sun 31st March, Sat 6th April and Sun 7th April 2024 for you to enjoy the antics of our famous Goats in Coats! An unique opportunity to marvel in person at our internet sensations; 75 baby goats wearing colourful jumpers, lovingly hand-knitted by our caring community. What started as a loving way to keep our smaller newborns cosy, has now exploded with knitters far and wide sending us their latest Goat Coat creations!
Spring time is an exciting time in our farming calendar as its kidding season here at Lunan Bay Farm. We, farmers Jillian and Neil McEwan got into goats 8 years ago and never looked back! Such characterful and inquisitive creatures. We know first hand what a delight our goats are so it was time to share the goat therapy with you.
During your visit, explore our indoor kidding shed, consisting of multiple goat nurseries where Mums’ keep their watchful eyes over their mischievous kids, whilst they have fun in their playpens, sleep in their tyres and play with their pals.
Last year’s standout kids were Big Frank the Cashmere, Fiona the Boer and flamboyant Flo. Who will be your favourites this year? Feed and pet our friendly Mums, who love a special treat, especially Bonnie, Lunan and Margaret.
Enjoy lots of goat cuddles with our super soft Miniature Scottish Cashmere kids, whilst having your photo taken in the Selfie Spot. There is the option to head outside and guess “Who’s the Daddy?”, when you meet our herd of male breeding goats including the legend that is Che Goatvara, our Scottish Cashmere buck, and Shetland Davie, our small but mighty Pygmy. Dennis is back by popular demand too.
By Easter, some of our kids will be frolicking about outside for the first time, which is another wonder to behold.
This Summer 2024, we invite you to join us at our farm at Lunan Bay where you’ll have a day-long, fully immersive, intimate experience learning how we produce our Scottish Regenerative Cashmere. From combing Cashmere from our goats, to spinning the yarn on shore of Lunan Bay. By joining our event, you are supporting our pioneering work to bring back homegrown Cashmere production to Scotland, read more about HERE.
NEW! Gift Vouchers for our Scottish Cashmere Farm to Fibre Experiences are available HERE
During our Cashmere farm to fibre experience, you can help gently comb our Cashmere goats to harvest our fibre, learn how our Cashmere fibre is processed, and experience hand spinning on the shore of Lunan Bay, the stunning wild Scottish beach we call “Home”.
There will be a demonstration on the key steps involved in converting fibre into yarn, by our artisan hand-spinner. You will have the opportunity to try hand-spinning and hand-carding with fibre from our Shetland sheep.
Learn how to dye our fibre with plant extracts, over fire in our cosy beachside bothy, and make your own naturally dye yarn to take home as a memento of your visit.
