Open Farm Sunday - 8th June 2014Goodwood's Home Farm played host to two new summer events on Sunday the 8th June, the first of which formed a part of the national "Open Farm Sunday" success. The event which held at Goodwood's very own Home Farm boasted opportunities for the whole family and especially the children to experience new things and find out how life on a farm can really be. Having spent most of my early years on farms it was like going back to my childhood a little bit, with my son Jaxon and nan in tow we headed down the track towards the farm house whilst stopping to say hello to some of the pigs or "peppa pig" and "mummy pig" as Jaxon referred to them.
We stopped by the lamb enclosure to find a farmer giving a talk about shearing sheep and lamb, explaining the reasons for shearing and how it is carried out, also reassuring the children that it doesn't hurt and is just like having a hair cut. Some of the talks at the farm were very informative and all of the staff were very friendly and had a "hands on" approach to the children and families alike.
Amongst the vast array of things to see and do at the farm there was a BBQ offering up farm raised lamb burgers and freshly made ice cream. there were also free tractor rides up to the top of the farm track to see the creamery and also taste some of the cheeses that are produced on site.
Sadly although we were having lots of fun teaching Jaxon about all of the animals and reasons for farming, we had to leave the open day pretty early on to ensure we made it to the second event taking place at Goodwood, which was the all new Goodwood Sunday School Family Racing Day
