So adorable! Meet one of Odds Farm Park’s newest arrivals, gorgeous Herbie! Born recently to proud mum, Acacia, Herbie is a Miniature Mediterranean Donkey.
Visitors will be interested to learn that Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys originate from the islands of Sardinia and Sicily. Much smaller than normal Donkeys, Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys grow to maximum height of 36 inches (at the age of 3 years) but most are under this height, at between 30 inches and 34 inches tall. The most common colour of a Miniature Mediterranean Donkey is grey dun with chocolate highlights. Other colours include brown, black, slate grey, sorrel, spotted, piebald, skewbald and cream.
Herbie isn’t the only new arrival to the farm in recent weeks. With the birth of two adorable Shetland Foals, cheeky Kid goats and greedy piglets, it’s been somewhat of a baby boom at the farm! Visitors will be pleased to learn they can see all the new residents in the Animal Paddocks or Undercover Animal Barns. Click Here to Learn More

Odds Farm Park is located just minutes from Junction 2 of the M40, near Beaconsfield.
Congratulations and Celebrations! On Thursday 6th April, proud mum Cocoa gave birth to adorable Shetland foal, Horlicks! The birth was a great success and both mum and son are bonding well.
Visitors will be interested to learn that Shetland Ponies originate from the Shetland Isles, located North East of mainland Scotland and excavations have revealed that they date back to the Bronze Age. With over 3,000 registered adult breeding females, Shetland Ponies are currently not classed as “rare” by the Rare Breed Survival Trust.
Horlicks is not the only new arrival to Odds Farm over recent weeks. From cheeky piglets to adorable kid goats and fluffy lambs, there’s a real “Baby Boom” happening at the farm!
Visitors will be pleased to learn that they can meet the new arrivals in either the Undercover Animal Barns or outside Paddocks. And, with even more new arrivals expected over the coming weeks, you may be lucky enough to see a birth!
In addition to meeting the new arrivals, children on a day out will love to take part in the Daily Animal Activities and Demonstrations which are all supervised by the friendly Livestock Team as well as discover acres of Indoor and Outdoor Play.
Award Winning Odds Farm Park is easily reached from Beaconsfield, Amersham, Chesham, Gerrards Cross, High Wycombe, Great Missenden and Wendover.
FARM ATTRACTION OF THE YEAR
Celebrations all round! The National Farm Attraction Network (NFAN) has announced Odds Farm Park as the winner of the “Farm Attraction of The Year 2017”!
A delighted team of staff from Odds Farm Park attended the NFAN Awards Ceremony at the Hilton Metropole in Brighton on Wednesday 1st February to learn of their fantastic achievement and collect the award.
Said Steve Vinden, Owner of Odds Farm Park:
“We are completely thrilled and honoured to receive the National Farm Attraction of the Year Award! There are some excellent farm attractions throughout the country and even to be considered alongside these is high praise indeed.
We are extremely proud of all our staff at Odds Farm Park in achieving this Award and would like to thank them all for their continued hard work and commitment.”
With over 200 farm attraction members of NFAN in the UK, this prestigious award was presented to the farm for leading the way in terms of both innovation and quality and who provide outstanding customer service and a commitment to improving their visitor experience.
The recognition comes hot on the heels of Odds Farm Park winning the Silver Award for the Café/Tea Room of the Year at the Beautiful South Awards in November 2016.
