A slice of life down on your local farm
Gather up the family and head for the great outdoors this month at Open Farm Sunday, which returns on 10 June. Offering a chance to learn more about farming, meet animals and enjoy activities such as tractor rides, walks and demonstrations, the event is part of a national initiative which will see hundreds of farms up and down the country open their gates to the public.
Locally, you can visit Manor Farm in Harlton (10am-4pm) for face-painting, machinery demos, ice creams, a hog roast and a chance to play in the straw, mud and wheat pit – plus meet the sheep and pigs at the farm. Hope Farm in Knapwell will also be open for the day, showing how they farm for wildlife, with talks, pond dipping and trailer rides. Find out more at the Open Farm Sunday website.
