THE GROUNDS

THE GROUNDS

Stantons Farm is based in Black Notley, a small civil parish in the heart of the Essex countryside, approximately 1.5 miles south of Braintree. The farm can trace its origins back to the 12th century and is originally thought to have comprised of 250 acres and farmed both livestock and arable throughout its history.

Whilst a number of the original farmstead buildings remain on the site, the estate was split up in the 1960s and some of the agricultural buildings and a large proportion of the land are now under different possession.

OUR FACILITIES

THE SNACK SHACK

A selection of hot and cold food, drinks and snacks are available to purchase from our Snack Shack.

We also offer vegan, vegetarian and dairy free options.

THE GIFT SHOP

We have a range of toys and products some of which are made from the fleece of our very own alpacas; including socks, scarves and plush alpaca teddies.

Let the kids choose what they want with pocket money priced toys, all farm orientated to remember your visit with us.

THE PLAYGROUND

Grab yourself some peace and quiet whilst the kids run wild on our farm themed play equipment.

We have two play areas on our farm, an adventure playground situated next to the education area and also a farm themed play area for the younger crowd.

Picnic areas are also located in both play areas with hand washing stations.
