You may find more of a range if you search for a petting zoo site. Commercial farms can be dangerous places for young children, and the owners dont always have the time, or indeed the extra public liability insurance required to run the place as a family attraction.
We too love to go on the Farm type CLs, and have a couple of favourites where we visit regularly. One is an Adult only site simply because they do Horse rescue, and have had incidents in the past of parents entering the paddocks and putting their child on the horses back, resulting in some nasty injuries to the child when the horse has thrown them off. Entirely the parents fault as the totally ignored the 'Keep Out' signs dispayed around the working yard of the site.
The second of our favourite CLs raises beef cattle for Tescos, again they have had people trespassing into the working farm yard and climbing on machinary that is quite dangerous unless you have been trained how to use it, and also that cattle are capable of inflicting serious injuries with just one kick or head butt.
Im not sure if they still run the Petting farm at Stowford Meadows site, but our children used to enjoy that when they where younger. We also live near to the Chatsworth House petting farm, which is very much set up to teach young children about the care of farm animals in a very safe purpose built unit, which is also a popular destination for local infant and junior school trips at the end of term. The area is also well served with a wide selection of campsites to suit all tastes and pockets.
