When Carla and Duncan Marchant recently left their successful health club business behind for a more quiet and peaceful life on their farm, little did they know what the future held. Dr Harry pays a visit to Privada Farm to meet this couple with a passion for animals and helping people. Knowing how therapeutic animals can be for people’s mental health, they’ve decided to open their property up for ‘farm therapy’ sessions to enrich the lives of people with disabilities. And with a large menagerie of cute and cuddly animals, there’s plenty of cuddles to go around.
