We've just spent some time in Tasmania for the @nuffieldaust Conference, tours and further exploring. @aksnowden presented her research on connected food and fibre education for Australian primary school students in the classroom and beyond.

A brilliant event building skills, knowledge, and a community of young farmers and agricultural professionals for today and tomorrow! 🚜

#Throwback to @OpenFarmSunday

Last Sunday was farming's annual open day with farms right across Britain open to the public. And we took the opportunity to visit a couple, and see the program in action!

The home was a great insight into an entrepreneurial and philanthropic man who invested deeply in manufacturing, education and medicine. And who continues to inspire today through those who study in the way he did, by travelling the world to advance agriculture.

[Little Brick Pastoral @LittleBrickPast]

By chance we found ourselves close to the village of Nuffield, Oxfordshire.

We visited Nuffield Place, the home of Lord & Lady Nuffield for thirty years until their passing. It is now preserved by the @nationaltrust.

@mdhcampbell @SouthEngShows Thanks for having us! 🌏💚

[Little Brick Pastoral @LittleBrickPast]

You can catch up on the panel discussion here. We learnt so much from our fellow panellists about inspiring initiatives in the UK connecting the public with farming.

We had a fascinating visit to LEGO House at the home of @LEGO_Group in Billund, Denmark.

[Little Brick Pastoral @LittleBrickPast]

We were excited to learn that the Ferguson tractor was one of the first plastic products @LEGO_Group launched. Available in 3 colours, pre-built or as a kit, it was a best-selling product in the 1950s.

LEGO and agriculture have been strong partners for a long time! 😉

It wouldn't be a visit to Ireland without a castle! 🏰

@johnstowncastle was set amongst beautiful gardens and lakes. The Estate is also home to the Irish Agricultural Museum where we learnt more about their history.

Yesterday, we joined the @lidl_ireland Farm to Fork Experience with @AgriAware. This free school excursion students to explore farm to fork across an 8 acre farm, before heading on a tour of the supermarket's warehouse. 🍅🥔
