FarmLink provides fun and learning through an informative “hands-on” approach to education in a countryside setting.

You may remember that we shared some work in progress photos of our new farm classroom at Lower Stock Farm a month or two ago.

We're now delighted to share the finished article - who fancies coming to see it in person next academic year?

Cows really are sociable animals and they love nothing more than coming to say hi when we have a class visiting! 🐮

Meet Molly & Betty Sandford!

It's hard to believe that just 6 months ago these feathered friends were cute fluffy chicks!

@SandfordPSchool visited us recently to see what the chicks they hatched earlier this year have turned into...

[FarmLink @FarmLinkEdu]

We currently have egg incubators out at 10 schools, with chicks hatching all the time…

How cute are these fluffy little ones? 🐣

Today is #CowAppreciationDay so to mark the occasion (although we like to think we appreciate them every day!) we thought we’d share our favourite cow photos along with our best cow joke!

🐮 What do you get when a cow jumps on a trampoline? A milkshake! 🐮

Can you do better?

We're so lucky to have so many picturesque host farms.

It's been so lovely seeing some of the recent calves out in the field this week at Lower Stock Farm - they're growing fast 🐮.

It was super busy and all systems go at Lower Stock Farm last week, making the most of the sunshine.

Check out the size of this newt found by Silverton Primary at Backwood just before half term.

If you think your kids would love to come and visit us  with their school, please get in touch…

We always love receiving feedback after a visit and it’s especially rewarding when you receive something like this…

“A big thank you from all of Class 1 for ‘the best day ever’!”

Thanks Kingsmoor Primary School - we loved having you visit us.

There were some great pond finds by the The Rainbow Montessori Nursery School on the farm this week…

Wow, what a great day we’ve had at the @NorthSomsShow.

So great to chat about where our food comes, help people learn the art of butter making, apple juice pressing and getting up close to loads of farm animals.

We’re off for an early night now…

[FarmLink @FarmLinkEdu]

We can’t wait to see you all today in the Countryside Arena at the @NorthSomsShow.

Who’s coming?

[FarmLink @FarmLinkEdu]

It’s been a rather soggy day setting up at the @NorthSomsShow today but we’re almost ready for you.

The forecast for tomorrow is looking better though and it’s set to be a great day for young and old.

Come and find us in the Countryside Arena for lots of action packed fun…

After delaying onsite visits due to the appalling weather, visits are back on 🙌

It's really important to us that we all make a connection between food & farming learn about where food comes from & understand more about the environment & conservation

Our week ended on a high yesterday with a visit from @MaryEltonPS in Clevedon to Lower Stock Farm with Liz and Steph.

[FarmLink @FarmLinkEdu]

We’re all set this morning to drop off some eggs and hatching equipment to another school in Somerset.

Exciting times… 🥚🐣

[FarmLink @FarmLinkEdu]

We are at the @BathandWest Field to Food Day today.

Make sure you say a big hi to Liz and Steph if you’re there…

[FarmLink @FarmLinkEdu]

Spring is finally in the air and the lambs are coming think and fast on some of our host farms.

We love the sight of them bounding around the fields in the sunshine.

Happy Easter from everyone at Farm Link 🐣🍫
