Animals at Barry’s Farm in Frost Lane, Hythe have been entertaining local children and adults alike for over 50 years. The donkeys, alpacas, goats, chickens, ducks, geese are adored by many. Of course, we can’t forget dear old Maggie the Pig who loves nothing more than a good roll in the mud! But of course, animals take A LOT of looking a er. is care and commitment also comes at a huge nancial cost, with constant food and vet bills to pay it can all add up to a tidy sum. To raise funds for this amazing cause, local animal artist and volunteer Christine Jones has put her creativity and talent to good use, producing a beautiful greetings card suitable for all occasions. On sale at the Herald Office, Hythe for just £2 each (cash please!) the card features all the animals on the farm and ALL proceeds from the sale of the cards will be going directly to the care of the animals. As a community we can all play a part in helping Barry’s Farm continue and thrive for future generations to enjoy.
