Here’s what was written about last years event (2013)
It really did shine that day and we were delighted with how many visitors came.
A hugely successful and enjoyable day was had by all when Ian and Sarah Davies opened up Wookey Farm on 9th June for the open farm Sunday event which is held annually around the country. There were milking demonstrations, tractor trailer rides, a BBQ, very competitive welly wanging and lots of animals to meet including the goats and their adorable kids, 3 little piggies, 20 sheep and their lambs, some hens and Pickles the donkey.
Sarah said “the weather was gorgeous and it was wonderful to have so many people come along to see what we are doing here on the farm. The event coincided with the launch of our cheese making which everyone got a chance to sample. We were also delighted that Tessa Munt came along to see what we are doing here and opened the new farm shop”.
The farm shop has been created from a redundant wooden horse box. Ian replaced the rusty roof, gave it a fresh lick of paint and fitted some recycled patio doors.
Tessa Munt, MP, who officially opened the shop, commented “ This is the nicest piece of ribbon I’ve ever had to cut ” as she cut through the baler twine. “I’d like to congratulate both of you (Ian and Sarah) on the work you’ve done and I declare this amazing farm shop ‘open’.”
Ian said “The farm shop is a great addition to the farm and with our range expanding more and more, it provides a central point for our campers and the local community to buy our products.”
At Wookey Farm they make goats cheese, yoghurt smoothies as well as pasteurised goats milk. In addition to this, they sell pork and sausages from their rare breed pigs, lamb from their flock of Jacob X Suffolk sheep and meat from the goats. They only sell produce from their farm so all produce is subject to availability. You can see more details on their web site www.wookeyfarm.com or call them to check what they have in stock. They welcome visitors to the farm to see the animals and visit the shop.
