Dear all
 
We have a few places left on our farm walk at Strickley Farm, Strickley, Old Hutton, Kendal, Cumbria, LA8 0LU.
 
This farm walk will be held Tuesday 30 July from 10am – 1pm.
 
Farm Background: Strickley is an organic dairy farm which has been in the Robinson family for 5 generations. We have a pedigree herd of 100 Dairy Shorthorns plus followers. We have always taken a keen interest in wildlife and conservation and the farm has an ancient oak woodland and a 2 acre wildlife pond, plus many miles of hedgerows. We also host farm visits which are run by my wife Michelle who is a primary school teacher. The school visits are focused on either organic milk production or on the environment which can include a spot of pond/beck dipping in our healthy waterways!
 
10.00  Arrival with refreshments
10.30  James Robinson 
will provide an introduction to the farm
10.45  Farm Walk
12.45  A complimentary organic lunch will be provided by the Soil Association.
Competition Time
We all know that farming can be thirsty work so our kind friends at
Vintage Roots have offered a case of the finest organic wine (12 bottles) as part of our 'Farm Walk Photo Competition'. All you have to do is to book your place on a free walk, go along and take some snaps and submit them for entry into our competition. Full terms and conditions will be circulated upon booking.
Booking your place
This event is open to all farmers and growers (organic and non-organic) and free to attend. Places are limited on a 'first come first served' basis. 
Please email producer.support@soilassociation.org if you would like to attend. We will send directions to delegates prior to the event. You can also download a full list of all our farm walks here.
 
With best wishes
