Following snow bought on by Storm Goretti, Melbourne Animal Farm took to social media to share photos of their residents enjoying the snow.

From sheep and alpacas to donkeys and Shetland ponies, Melbourne Animal Farm provides visitors with the opportunity to get up close with their favourite farm yard animals.

They also offer regular events, work experience days and allow volunteers to come and learn about the animals.

Although they are currently shut for winter, the farm's costs continue to rise with the need for more feed, hay and bedding is increased in the winter while they can't welcome paying visitors to the farm.

They ask that anyone wanting to support the farm cover these increasing costs donate via their website or book your visit in advance for their February half term activities.

They also offer a safe indoors space to exercise dogs during adverse weather conditions at their Doggy Play Bard.

This is a 1200 square foot space that's open seven days a week, ideal for when your dog doesn't fancy another wet walk but still needs to let off some steam.

If that wasn't enough, they also offer small pet boarding, grooming and courses include dog first aid and equine yard health and safety.
