“The children really enjoyed the tour of the farm and being able to go into the field to see the animals close up; a real chance to get out of the classroom environment and continue learning.”

— Year 3 teacher

“It really opened by eyes to see how a farm is run as a multi-million pound business, and to think about all the decisions the farms has to make, not just what crops to grow.”

— A level business studies student
