Fen Peas

Bit of a busman's holiday today. It was Farm Open Day around the UK today, where farmers invite the general public to see how crops are grown and also get up close to livestock. So we took our Pygmy Goats off to Bishop Farm Partners near Sibsey not really knowing what to expect. The day was very well run with a lot of attractions for all ages, from steam engines to modern tractors, and a wide range of animals.

It was quite evident that a lot of work had gone into the day and this all paid off with a lot of people coming through the gate. It is now becoming an important part of the Agricultural calendar, and gives us an opportunity to engage with the public, and I think it works.

The Agricultural correspondent from The Lincolnshire Pride was there, so if you live in Lincolnshire I am sure that you will be able to read a full report in the next issue.
