Children’s Food Safari
Join us on 09 June 2012 Morning
A true ‘field to fork’ experience for children that shows children the connection between the food we eat and the farms it comes from.
This unique half day event gives your children a taste of Food Safari! Visit Food Safari HQ and take a tour of our small holding. Your children will have the chance to feed the pigs, collect eggs from the hens, see the bee hives, milk a Jersey cow and pick salad from our vegetable garden.
The course is all about giving children the chance to find out more about where food comes from. We’ll show the children how to make sausages using our own pork and make meringues with the eggs they have collected. They’ll pick salad from the garden or wild herbs to make salad for lunch and plant some seeds to nurture at home.
The session will culminate in a feast, prepared with the children’s help and shared with the adults.
All the family will leave inspired to try something new at home whether that is growing a few salad leaves on the windowsill, making your own burgers or even keeping a few hens.
Suitable for children aged 6 – 12 years. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The ticket price includes lunch for one accompanying adult, additional adults can book separately.
We run two sessions per day – a morning session with lunch from 10.00 – 1.30 and an afternoon session with tea from 2.30 – 6.00.
The content of the day will vary slightly with the seasons.
