this is the website link for a group of farm sites

Have a look at Parkers Farm.  We passed this site a few years ago on our way to Moor View. Reading the reviews it seems that there are guided walks around the farm and that children can get very close to the animals and even feed them. It looks like a very nice site, very well run and in a lovely location, if you're not put off by the busy main road in the distance then it looks ideal for you.

We stayed at East Fleet Farm near Weymouth, Dorset a couple of years ago. 

Its only a few mile out of Weymouth so you have the added attraction of going to the beach.

A very nice friendly site. Highly recommended.

Whilst I completely understand why you want this we stayed on a farm CL with animals (sheep and goats)  and loved it.  The kids were taken by the farmer to help feed and work with the animals

However just remember you will be in a working environment so be prepared for very early starts, farm machinery is not quiet, nor are hungry animals.  The smell is quite pungent too so if you are prepared for not much sleep and to have the permanent smell of animals  and manure up your nostrils then go for it :)

It's just struck me that so many threads are like this  - suggestions for sites are requested, loads of ideas are provided and we all get enthusiastic at everyone's suggestions and then you never hear another peep from the original poster as to what the outcome was!  I'd always love to know which site was chosen and whether it was a success!
