Camelsdale Beavers visited the Cowdray Farm estate and had a brilliant trip around the farm with their wonderfully knowledgeable farm manager David.
They saw the cows being milked and all the machinery they use and went on an amazing tractor ride around the farm, where we saw some of the estate, the polo ponies and the fields being prepared for the sowing of crops.
It was a really valuable experience for the Beavers to learn about where the food that they buy comes from and to understand that it isn't quite as clean on a farm as it is in a supermarket! (Obviously they enjoyed learning about what happens to the cows' poo almost as much as they enjoyed finding out about the milk!!)
