π» BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY AT ST JOANS FARM! πππ½
Weβre opening the farm for a fun-filled day this Bank Holiday Monday, 10.30amβ4.30pm β and weβd love you to join us!
ποΈ Β£7 per person, including:
π Entry to the barn to see some of our farm animals
π Tractor trailer ride through our Hereford herd
π» Head out to our sunflower field
π½ Entry to our Maize Maze, with unlimited trips around the maze!
π» A little reality check behind our sunflowers... We planted 2,500 sunflower seeds this year, but farming really doesn't always go to plan.
After an unprecedented run of heatwaves and incredibly dry weather, our crops have taken an absolute battering. We estimate that only around 250β300 sunflowers have survived. We also planted corn for the maize maze, but sadly the plants have died too.
And it's not just the crops. The heat and lack of rain have also scorched the grass, meaning there is far less natural grazing and feed available for our animals.
This is the reality of farming. You can plant the seeds, put in the work and do everything you can β but ultimately, you can't control the weather. π¦οΈ
So while our sunflower field may not look quite how we imagined it would, we're incredibly proud of the few that have made it through and we're excited to share them with you. π
π» Sunflowers are Β£2.50 each to pick, or 5 for Β£10. They are very limited this year and, although we're hopeful everyone who wants one will get the chance, we cannot guarantee it.
ποΈ Tickets:
Tickets can be purchased in the Farm Shop on Saturday by card/cash, or on the day by card/cash.
π· BBQ & Sunflowers:
Card payments will be available, but signal in the field will be very limited, so cash is preferred for sunflower purchases and the BBQ.
π₯ BBQ available (additional charge)
π Parking available
ποΈ Farm Shop open as usual
Thereβs no time limit on your visit, so take your time and enjoy the day.
Come and enjoy a day on the farm, support British farming and see first-hand just how much hard work goes into producing the food and crops we often take for granted. ππ»π
