Pandy Farm Experience offer a unique and authentic glimpse into the daily life of Erin McNaught, a young hill farmer. Erin is a fourth-generation farmer, a well-respected female figure in the agricultural world and known for her appearances on national TV. Erin brings passion, expertise, and warm hospitality to every visit, making this a truly memorable experience for all ages.
Pandy Farm is nestled in the hills near Bala, a historic market town at the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in North Wales.
On arrival, your clients will be greeted by Del the sheepdog and their host, Erin. Following an introduction to the farm and its history Erin and her team of expertly trained dogs put on a thrilling sheepdog demonstration, working with both sheep and lively runner ducks for added fun.
After guiding the flock into a secure pen, Erin introduces the hardy Welsh Mountain sheep, one of the native breeds of Wales, known for being "hefted" to the land. Your clients will discover the significance of different wool textures and how traditional sheep grazing helps maintain the upland environment.
The experience ends with a cup of tea and freshly baked Welsh cakes in the characterful old barn with Erin’s grandparents and other family members to hear more stories and a chance to ask questions. There is also a small gift shop with a selection of hand-made gifts crafted on the farm.
The tour can be tailored to accommodate your client’s needs. It is suitable for groups min 15 and up to 30 but can accommodate two groups of 30 (60 at once), subject to availability. Tours are available for one or two hours and are accessible for all walking abilities. Erin can work with you to plan the details and can offer a guided familiarisation tour if required.
