Across the fields



On May 16th the Warkton Women's Institute visited the Green Patch. After their meeting at Warkton they took the footpath across the dairy farm to the Ise Brook and along it to the lane. It was a sunny day, not too hot and they enjoyed looking round, having a snack and buying plants and eggs.
On the following week the farmer took us round the dairy farm and we learned what a lot of work is involved in rearing pedigree cattle, it's really 24/7 . In the field there are often 3 generations grazing together, Grandma, Mum and daughter.
