Children from Bowmansgreen
Primary school, together with their families, were invited along to Willows Farm recently to celebrate National Farmhouse Breakfast Week (25 – 29th January).
Alongside family and staff, Year 4 children tucked into a traditional farmhouse breakfast with enthusiasm, enjoying the homemade sausage, scrambled egg, bacon and beans, starting with cereals and finishing with toast.
Local produce
Indeed, one farmer had brought the milk, another the eggs and the bread was baked on the farm at Willows. Farmers and the National Farmers Union in Hertfordshire were on hand to talk to the children and their
parents about the importance of the first meal of the day.
The children had a fun time completing a quiz about where their breakfast food might come from.
Local wildlife?
The children walked down through the village to the farm and back, along the River Colne; thoroughly enjoying the wildlife, especially the reindeer and wallabies! This helped them work up a really healthy appetite and keenness to find out about, and enjoy eating a hearty breakfast. All great from a sustainability perspective, and demonstrating our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint!
