The site is currently being developed to provide “an interactive animal experience” for the public.
It’s planned to specialise in breeding and raising unique smaller farm animals such as miniature Mediterranean donkeys, pygmy goats and alpacas.
Families will also be able to get up close and personal with more traditional farm animals like pigs, sheep, ducks and chickens.
No official opening date has been announced, and its website just says “coming soon”.
