Farm and Fun
Outdoor and Indoor fun for kids - and big kids! See our farm at work close up then play, laugh, and learn. Pedal karts, slides, animals and woodland walks. We had you at pedal karts, didn’t we.

Plants are good for you. They reduce stress, improve your mood, show fatigue the door, send stress and anxiety packing, improve performance and focus - then there’s their healing properties. They also look lovely and fill a gap on an empty shelf or patio! So head to Ernespie Plants and pick up a plant or two for you or someone that deserves a wee bit of thoughtfulness in their life.

Who doesn’t love lots of space and being outdoors these days and we’ve always had acres of it at Ernespie Farm – and views to take your breath away.
Luckily, there’s plenty of fresh air to go around, but we still have a safe total capacity for visitors so please book in advance.
We’re a working farm but there’s fun for the whole family as far as the eye can see – Busy Bee indoor soft play, outdoor play with a zip wire, tractor rides, Cresta slide, Peddle Karts, and bouncy cushions that some kids point out look a lot like dad’s belly.
And we haven’t forgotten about rumbling tums either because a day on the farm is thirsty work so head to our Farmhouse Kitchen for locally sourced scrummy food that’s all made by us.
Will you stare longer at the views or our homemade cakes?
Don’t forget to pop your head into Ernespie Plants and our gift shop too. Then you can take a wee piece of us home to keep you ticking over until your next visit or pick up a special gift for a special someone whose birthday is looming.
And all this happens under a big beautiful sky in a stunning part of Scotland so why not make a day of it with all the family!
Farmhouse Kitchen
You’re going to need a pit stop or two in amongst all there is to see and do at Ernespie Farm, and you’ll get a warm welcome and something hot or cold, food or drink, substantial or snack at our Farmhouse Kitchen.
Think simple, wholesome food.
It’s equally the place to shimmy along to for a wee cuppa and a cake or something ice-cold and refreshing.
