Devon Women in Business - Devon Women in Business Donkey Walking and Networking Lunch

You can rely on us to make women-only networking fun! This month we're off to Whitsleigh Farm, the home of the North Devon Hog Roast for a networking lunch with a difference. DWIB Award Winner Sam Hastings will share her home and donkeys for this event. She will provide a light lunch and make a short presentation about her story and the obstacles she has overcome in creating her businesses.

After lunch, attendees will be able to walk the donkeys!*

About Lower Whitsleigh Farm

Lower Whitsleigh Farm was originally built around 300 years ago. For most of its life it has been a working dairy farm, originally sited in over 400 acres.

Your hosts are Sam & Andy, Rufus their friendly ex-guide dog, Daphne & Delilah (their two rescue donkeys) the Tamworth Piglets, rabbits and their ex-battery hens. They aim to make your visit enjoyable, relaxing, rewarding and entertaining.

About the donkeys

Daphne (brown and white) & Delilah (hairier grey one) are both rescues from the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth. They have been with us since 2014, moving down from Essex in 2018. They are still quite young (Donkeys live up to around 60 years), estimated to have been born in 2012. Both are very friendly, gentle and love attention. They are very inquisitive and as with any animal, please be careful around them and avoid approaching from behind or quick movements / loud noises which may spook them. Both adore the odd carrot, apple and their absolute favourite things are ginger biscuits, but please, not too much and mind fingers!
