Calling all Junior Farmers - join us for our Summer Adventure!
In the summer holidays, we'll be taking our Junior Farmers on a fun guided walk around the farm:
In the summer holidays, we'll be taking our Junior Farmers on a fun guided walk around the farm:
- Stopping by our different fruit and veg fields to learn how they how they grow: from planting to pollination to picking.
- Visiting the private woods (usually off-limits to visitors) to understand more about woodland life.
- Building a 'bug hotel' to take home to encourage insects to pollinate plants where you live!
Some extra details...
- Weather: Sessions will mostly take place outdoors and will go ahead rain or shine! Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring umbrellas/wellies if raining.
- Fruit Picking: Although these sessions will include visits to the fruit/veg fields, they do not include picking activities. Please visit our fruit picking page nearer the time for information on what will be available to pick and to book if necessary.
- Accessibility: The tours involve walking around the farm, mostly along grass tracks. Although accessible to sturdy prams in dry conditions, we'd advise not bringing one if possible, as you'll enjoy a more comfortable walk without. Prams will need to be left at the edge of the woods for that part of the session. For advice on wheelchair accessibility, please ring us to discuss.
- Siblings: We usually welcome non-participating younger siblings (under 18 months) free of charge to Junior Farmers. Given the physical nature of these sessions and our advice on bringing prams, we'd advise not bringing infants to this event if possible as pushing/carrying them around the farm might be tiring! But if needs be, infants are welcome to come along.
