Easter on the farm
FARMING
AROUND 70 youngsters and their families enjoyed a visit to a smallholding near Shepton Mallet for an Easter egg trail. Families were encouraged to walk along footpaths from either Shepton Mallet or Croscombe to reach Rock Farm at Windsor Hill which is home to the Good Life Projects, a family-run sustainable farming enterprise. Rock Farm is also one of the bases for the Food Forest Project, a community scheme to encourage wellbeing and grow sustainable food for people to enjoy for free. It recently completed work on an education centre at Rock Farm. FFP has another site at West Shepton and has just opened a third, Worthington Woods, in Wedmore.
