Seasonal & Special Events at Newton Farm

Spring Lambing, Calving & New Beginnings 2026

March – May | Farm Tour replaced by Lambing Experiences

Online booking is now available with lambing due to begin 25th March 2026.  Our male sheep were with the females early November with a 5 month gestation.

Spring on the farm is truly something special — the air is full of anticipation, and life is literally bursting into the world.
