“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statement is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “During the year 11 lambs were born to our ewes which included 1 set of triplets and 4 sets of twins. Pearl the pygmy goat gave birth to twins, male and female. Doris the Gloucester Old Spot sow gave birth to a litter of 12 piglets and Mabel the Duroc cross sow gave birth to a litter of 8 piglets... We purchased 2 new calves in July from Market Drayton Market.”
- “This year we held our daytime event on the Friday of Halloween... The lambing shed was converted into a fabulous spooky Haunted House... The event was a huge success with 756 people attending. We were greatly helped on the day by a team of corporate volunteers from Co-op, friends, and family of Acorn Farm's Staff.”
- “Christmas Grotto... The grotto proved popular once again with 260 Children visiting from 7 schools and nurseries during the week. Over the weekends 238 children came to see Father Christmas and receive a gift.”
- “We have been re-awarded the "Visit Britain" accreditation as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction; receiving an overall score of 76%... Thomas organised his contractor to come and re-lay the dairy floor so that we could start making ice cream again. He also supplied and erected 3 new animal sheds.”
- “9 members of our staff climbed Snowdon in October and raised over £2,000.”
