Open Farm Sunday is on 9th June

Open Farm Day at Lower Dairy FarmOn Sunday 9th June 2013, farms across the country are opening their gates to the public for LEAF’s Open Farm Sunday.

The Taylor family of Lower Dairy Farm in Little Horkesley, are inviting you to come and discover life on their farm.  Explore the farm on a self-guided walk with views across the Stour Valley.  Along the way learn more about the crops, animals, and history of this very special area.  Then join us in the barn and treat yourself to a slice of homemade cake!

Open Farm Sunday is a national event to allow people to visit farms of all shapes and sizes and learn about what it means to be a farmer.  We had people visiting from West Bergholt last year and really hope they will visit again!
Jenny Taylor

The farm is open between 11am – 4pm and entry is free, the address is:

  • Lower Dairy Farm, Water Lane, Little Horkesley, CO6 4JS

Spring Nature Walk & Bluebell Open Day – Hillhouse Wood

Sunday 1st May there are two opportunities to visit Hillhouse Wood guided by Joe Firmin & Philip Smith.  In the morning (starting 10am at the Old Church) Joe and Philip will lead a walk to see numerous spring birds including chiffchaffs and other warblers, spring butterflies and wild flowers.

In the afternoon (starting 2pm at the Old Church) you can view the Friends’ display and collect a nature trail guide before joining Joe and Philip for a guided walk to see the bluebells and other spring flowers, butterflies and spring bird life, possibly including early nightingales.
In both cases the tours are ‘weather permitting’ and wearing stout footwear or wellies is advisable.
