Riverford Organic Vegetables and Sacrewell Farm Visitors Centre open their gates for the Grand Finale of the Green Festival 2009
Sunday June 7th marks the last day of this years’ Green Festival, and also falls upon National Open Farm Sunday. To celebrate this there will be no admission fee to Sacrewell Farm and Country Centre.
This is the first time Sacrewell Farm and Riverford have joined forces to welcome the public to a vegetable-themed summer party on Sunday 7th June from 10am-4.00pm at Sacrewell Lodge Farm, Thornhaugh. Entry is free.
There will be plenty to enjoy for the whole family, including some unique vegetable themed athletics! Have a go at squash putting, Riverford’s version of the shot put. Try your luck on the vegetable shy – you might find certain vegetables are harder to knock over than the more traditional coconut!
Win prizes on the fruit hoopla and play Riverford’s mystery veg, guess the weight and how many potatoes in the sack competition. Line up for welly wanging and compete in the organic tomato and spoon race.
For something a little less energetic, the Sacrewell Visitor centre will be running many other activities, including tractor rides, pony grooming, animal feeding and cream teas in the old mill garden.
“The Green Festival this year has been fantastic, and we are delighted to be able to host the grand finale summer party,” said Mark Moody, Marketing Coordinator of Riverford. “We hope everyone will get stuck into the vegetable athletics and have a great day out.”
Open Farm Sunday is an event held across the UK, and aims to raise awareness of farming alongside nature to produce environmentally friendly food. This event also gives the public the opportunity to experience and learn about farming practices. Sacrewell Farm and Riverford are hoping that people who have not visited the farm before will take advantage of the free open day and come along to see everything they have to offer.
Gates open from 10am – 4pm, the visitor centre and shop will be open as usual and there will be a BBQ serving food along with the Stables restaurant.
Please call 0845 367 1159 or email summerparty@riverford.co.uk to book your free places, giving details of how many people are coming. Booking is not essential but will help Riverford make sure there are enough sausages for everyone!
