Notice : Kintaline Plant and Poultry Centre and the Smallholder Shop will be closed from the 6th to the 14th February 2010 inclusive.

WINTER OPENING 2010
We are open here at Kintaline Plant and Poultry Centre from 10 am daily, 7 days a week, except in very rare emergencies.
The poultry and waterfowl park is now closed for the winter, but the housing and electric fencing display is still open, weather and ground conditions permitting, as is the shop, feed store and plant centre.
We have a lot of work to do around the farm this winter, so please email or phone if you are making a special trip to pick our brains.
We are very happy to talk to you about what you need to set up or expand your poultry and waterfowl keeping, based on many decades of experience, of all scales, and understanding the needs of the birds in all parts of the country.

We now host the Local Producers Market every First and Third Thursday of the month from March to November (December fayres are in the village hall), you are very welcome, but its not a day we can give you lots of time to talk about your personal needs. Dates are here.

Directions to find us

We have very full days with our birds and plants outside, guests and customers visiting the farm, as well as email and phone customers, so we can sometimes be difficult to get hold of by phone immediately.
Please with your daytime and evening telephone numbers if you are having difficulties. We will return your call as soon as we can. The computer is always on, and email is checked many times during the day.

If you do not live close enough to visit us in person here is what and where we can supply - please read carefully and consider our location with respect to yours. It is a waste of your time to contact us about items we cannot supply to you.

• Birds : We only supply birds to people who can collect from the farm.
  We do not export to anywhere, which includes Northern Ireland.
  To find other breeders around the country use the breed clubs, local feed stores, vets, poultry magazines, commercial dealers.
  We are curtailing our breeding programme this year so will have few pure breeds available later in the year, if any. We have some older birds for sale this winter - they will lay much less, but be great pets, and garden bug clearers.
• Hatching Eggs : We are not sending hatching eggs out, and will have none at the farm, unless we revise our breeding programme for this year. We do not export to anywhere.
• Housing : All our housing is available throughout mainland UK, including Scotland, and the local Islands:e.g. Man, Wight, Hebrides.
  We currently have a sale of our display stocks here at the farm, limited stocks, so we can work on the display area through the winter.
  For any other locations we can deliver to any mainland shipping company for you to arrange onward carriage.
  We have no plans of any housing for sale.
• Electric Fencing : The fencing and kits are delivered by carrier throughout the UK, some surchages may apply to certain island destinations, and Ireland. For other locations contact us for details.
• Books and videos :We can post our books and DVD's out to anywhere, but the charges shown only apply to normal UK postal areas. Anywhere else is at costs incurred.
• Smallholder and Poultry Equipment : All the feeders, drinkers and other equipment are all posted as well, and the same applies as for the Books. We do not surcharge Scottish customers on carriage.
• Plants and Composts : We do not mail order plants or gardening supplies at all. We have a wonderful range of rhodies, perennials, and, especially, herbs, for all visitors here.
