A delightful cafe and farm shop with a farm trail and several farm animals. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. We had cream teas, and the scones were large, fresh, and warm. It's probably one of the best cream teas I have had. There is indoor (undercover) seating and some tables outside. You can wander around the farm trail and meet a few animals. It's a lovely setting, and we will definitely be back

When my (now) wife and I moved to Maidstone, we just went for a walk - no phones or online maps... And we stumbled upon this brilliant, family friendly, "must visit" Farm. The word "farm" doesn't quite do it justice - the open air, the scenery, the food and drinks at the cafe.. the animals - it's a unique place, I've not been somewhere like this before. The cakes and savoury food (sausage rolls, Cornish pasties..) are all homemade and you can tell! All served by a wonderful family and their friends. Definitely creates local work experience for the young adults also! Our lucky position near to this farm has actually dictated where we have chosen to now live, and raise our first child. Note - keep an eye on social media to see what's happening here! Note - possible to walk here from Upper Fant Road. Use the Farleigh Road entrance for parking.

Visited for some Pumpkin Picking. Such a wide range of pumpkins to choose from. Grown on site which was lovely to see. Free to park and enter. Also had fresh eggs and other produce to buy. It was lovely that dogs were allowed. Had a nice hot drink afterwards. It was all reasonably priced too. Great lilacs coffee all the family.

I visited last week, and was pleasantly surprised! One member of our group has a gluten allergy, but the staff catered brilliantly for us and made a gluten free cheese toasty especially, which was wonderful. All the pastries were home made and tasted good, and the staff were all happy and helpful. Would definitely reccomend and would go again!

A truly unique place. The food is homemade and delicious. We had a family birthday tea here today with a beautiful strawberry sponge cake. The scones were fresh baked, and there was plenty of tea! The people serving were a delight. My grandchildren loved the play sand, tractor, and animals. Thank you for our memorable day from the 3 to 88 year old folk.

We had my daughters 6th birthday party here today which was fantastic. Really great communication from Sonja before and excellent customer service whilst there. Our party host, Rose, was great with the kids, really calm and fun. The kids loved all the activities, poo picking was surprisingly popular! We 100% recommend a kids party at Little Farm.

A really lovely farm with plenty to do. We started with a wander around seeing the animals, there are two pigs, two Shetland ponies, two goats, geese & chickens. You can buy food & feed the pigs. We enjoyed a latte in the tea barn where you can also buy ice cream, cake, toasties etc. & other drinks. Then we got an empty punnet at the pick your own tent & went plum picking. Didn’t take long to pick lots of juicy ripe plums. My punnet was really heavy & cost £8. Going to make a crumble & some jam. Just up the hill on the farm is a beautiful patch of sunflowers & zinnias. Which you can pick & pay for after. In the autumn there are pears to pick & a pumpkin patch to enjoy. You can easily spend a few hours just leisurely enjoying the surroundings & don’t need to spend too much money

We visited here recently after driving past many times and so glad we took a look. We went with our toddler. He loved the whole experience. So did we. It's only small but has a lovely atmosphere and nice selection of food, cakes, coffee and tea. All well priced and served by very friendly staff. Lots of seating and in warm weather you could take a picnic blanket too enjoy some family time. There's old tractors for kids to sit in. Our boy loved the goats and especially the ponies. They are adorable. Lovely to spend a few hours here together. So worth a visit. They have good toilet's too. Easy to get to near Farleigh Bridge and not far from Maidstone too. Amazing location. It's beautiful here with orchards all around too. We loved it. Will visit again.
