As well as growing vegetables at our nurseries, we love to take the children out on food fact trips in the local area to keep them in touch with where food comes from and how it grows.
We regularly visit Warleigh Lodge Farm, where the children can feed lambs, collect eggs, prepare fresh bedding for the pigs and scatter beets for the cattle from the safety of farmer Julian’s trailer. We love visiting the shops and garden centres nearby and once had a memorable trip to John Hurd’s organic watercress farm where we helped to turn on the giant water pipes that irrigate the water beds.
