🌾🐄 What a fantastic day we had at Open Farm Sunday last weekend at Old Hall Farm!

We loved welcoming so many families to this great farm and sharing a hands-on taste of traditional dairy farming. Visitors had the chance to learn how butter is made from cream, getting stuck in with the churning process and discovering just how simple and fun it can be.

The best part? Everyone got to take home their very own handmade butter to enjoy!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, asked questions, got involved, and helped make the day such a success. We had so much fun sharing our passion for farming and food production with you all.
