Current Weather at Strickley

A new role

Yesterday we were a Host Farm for a Soil Association Organic Apprentice Scheme Seminar. It was part of a weekend for Agricultural and Horticultural apprentices. The dairy students (do I call them students?) spent the morning in James' kitchen with their tutor (from Yeo Valley). After a typical Strickley farmhouse dinner (carried across the yard), and more "classroom" work, they went down the yard to see the stock and afternoon feeding and milking. A full day ended with tea and cake, and hopefully an insight into a family dairy farm.

Many many thanks to James and Michelle for giving up their kitchen for the day (and to Robert and Chris for being so tolerant of strangers in their house)
