A FARM is offering families the chance to get up close with lambs as part of a hands-on springtime experience.
Jacksons at Jedburgh, a farm visitor attraction in the Borders, will reopen to the public on April 1, giving visitors the opportunity to witness lambing season first hand.
The experience allows children and adults to meet new-born lambs and see life on a working farm during one of its busiest times of the year.
Jasmine Jackson said: "Easter is a really special time on the farm because it’s right in the middle of lambing season.

"Many families never get the chance to see lambing or meet new-born lambs up close, so we love opening our gates and giving visitors the opportunity to experience it for themselves – especially the chance to feed the bottle lambs, which is always a favourite."
The farm will offer tractor and trailer tours, hands-on activities, and the opportunity to bottle-feed lambs.
The tours take visitors on a guided journey across the farm to see sheep and lambs in the fields, while learning about the daily work involved during lambing season.
As a family-run enterprise, Jacksons at Jedburgh aims to connect visitors with farming and rural life.
The reopening is during the Easter holidays, when many families are searching for outdoor activities and educational days out.
The hands-on approach supports the attraction’s broader focus on education, family fun, and showcasing life on a working farm.
Visitors will be able to interact with the lambs and gain insight into the care that goes into looking after them during their earliest days.
Jacksons at Jedburgh operates on a working farm, meaning visitors are given a genuine experience of farm life during one of its most active periods.
The farm tours are expected to be a highlight for many, offering both a scenic and educational journey through the countryside.
The public reopening aligns with the Easter holidays, making it a suitable outing for families looking to make the most of their time off.
