A Delightful Family Outing Awaits
This Easter, Lunan Bay Farm is excited to open its doors for our annual Goats in Coats festival – an event that captured hearts last year with its irresistible blend of charm, fun, and education. Meet our baby Cashmere goats dressed in colourful, hand-knitted jumpers, lovingly made by our community knitters! The sight of our adorable kids in their snug coats, along with the opportunity to cuddle them, is a heartwarming experience that families and visitors of all ages adore.
By attending this special event, you’re not only enjoying a day filled with smiles and cuddles but also supporting our Scottish Regenerative Cashmere Project. We’re proud to be reviving Scottish Cashmere production sustainably, producing eco-conscious textiles that respect the environment. The festival gives you a glimpse into the workings of this unique project, making it both a fun and informative day out!
