Tortoise Sanctuary
Welcome to Orlestone Farm!
Orlestone is a secret haven – a sanctuary in the Kent countryside for tortoises in need of some TLC and a new life.
The farm is also the perfect place for your tortoise to stay whilst you go on holiday & hibernate under veterinary care.
Our vet Dr Emily runs educational seminars for owners & fellow veterinary professionals, along side research projects into the health of tortoises.
Fantastic boarding enclosures both indoors & out
Secure, spacious & enriched.
Take the worry out of winter with our Refrigeration Hibernation Service
Dedicated rehab unit for sick tortoises needing continuous medical care.
All under the care of vet Dr Emily
Our goats, hens & bees are part of the family.
We produce honey and sell kids & spare eggs (none available at the moment)
The 2-acre veg plot grows the in-season fruit & veg for our Farmer’s Market and homemade produce.
Vet Dr Emily also helps fellow small-holders create bespoke worming programs for their flocks.
