The opportunity to experience what life is like on a real working farm is within reach for all of us on 12 June. Each year British farms open their gates as they take part in the event known as
Open Farm Sunday organised by
LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) and this year over 450 farms across the country are involved, including
Offley Hoo (Pilkington Farms) in Hertfordshire.
As well as being educationally valuable in a time where many children seem to have no idea where their food comes from, it is also a day of fun and entertainment for all the family.
With just a week to go before
Offley Hoo opens its doors to all (from 11am – 4pm), they are busy putting the final touches together and you can keep up to date by following their
blog where there’ll be daily updates giving you an idea of what’s in store.
So get out into the countryside, reconnect with nature, learn
and have fun.
