Past event: Apple picking and pig feeding; Church Farm, Ardley

Join us for a fun-filled morning as we help out by harvesting orchard fruit on the farm! We’ll be picking lots of apples before feeding the windfall and damaged apples to the pigs afterwards.

Stay afterwards to see the guinea pig village, goat playground and new sensory herb garden at the Farm!
