Get outdoors

Sep 26, 2017

Get outdoors – visit a farmers market this weekend – tasty food, space for the kids to run.

Farmers markets usually have a fun–filled, almost festive atmosphere, so they are great places for family outings, and even to meet friends.

Many kids do not know much about what happens on a farm where the food they eat is grown and reared, they think it just comes from the supermarket. So visiting a Farmers Market is a great opportunity for them to chat to the farmer and learn more about the quality of the food they are eating. Click the links below
