Gay Coley, from Coley Hill Consultants, who has supported Torfaen Council with the transformation, said:
“We started with two big challenges – how could we enable visitors to get up close to a working farm, and respect the historic buildings and heritage?
"We believe this renovation has done that and can’t wait to see a new generation enjoying a great day out at Greenmeadow Farm.”
Ensuring that the farm is going to be welcoming for all, accessibility has been a made a priority. Greenmeadow Farm has been fitted with lifts and accessible toilets.
