Once a year, on Farm Open Sunday, farms open their doors (gates?) to thousands of people to show them where their food comes from and how it is grown.This year we ran a fairly low profile event - just registering on the Open Farm Sunday website and then putting some posters up at the Hop Pole Inn at the end of the lane.
25 people came along - some from the Hop Pole and others who had been listening to the Archers and then checked out where their nearest farm was on the web.
During the visit we had a walk around the farm seeing lambs, pigs, hens and the cattle before enjoying tea and cakes back in the barn.
Once the Ruskin Studio is completed we plan to be able to host more visits and build relationships with our local schools.
