Jimmy’s Farm in the heart of Suffolk

Jimmy’s Farm became a household name when the BBC made a documentary about Jimmy Doherty’s farm near Ipswich in Suffolk. 

It’s easy to see why Jimmy’s Farm has proven to be such a popular destination for local residents of Suffolk as well as visitors from all around the UK and beyond. There is so much on offer there for children and adults alike. 

This rare breed’s farm is open to all and offers a wonderful taste of the rural life that Suffolk is so famous for. 

Visitors to Jimmy’s Farm are able to feed the animals from bags of food provided by the farm. This is an excellent opportunity to get up close to the sheep, goats, donkeys, chicken, rabbits, ducks, cows, pigs and many more who live on the farm. Making the place a must visit for any animal lover!

There is also a stunning butterfly house, in which beautiful colourful tropical butterflies delight visitors, a fine restaurant, fishing, farm foods, a giant sandpit, climbing pyramids and play vehicles. Everything needed for a truly fantastic day out for all the family. 

And all within 20 minutes of all of our Holiday Cottages and Barges!

Jimmy’s Farm even hosts an annual festival of music food and drink in July. This popular event has been growing year on year and has become a highlight of the calendar here in Suffolk. Well worth checking out if it coincides with your visit to us. 

You can find out more about Jimmy’s Farm by visiting their official website, or connecting with them on Facebook, or you can find out what other people have made of their visits by looking on TripAdvisor.

So if you’re thinking of joining us on a Woodfarm Barge and you’re also on the look out for fun for all ages then Jimmy’s Farm could be the place for you.
