JOIN US FOR A DAY ON THE FARM

Come to a special event at Yeo Valley

Come and enjoy a day of fun, food and farming as one of our guests at this exclusive Country Living visit to the Yeo Valley farm on 27 September 2017. This year, the farm hosts the annual Mendip Ploughing Match – a hotly contested event that brings talented countrymen from all over Somerset to compete against one another. Watch them as they work, using vintage tractors, Shire horses and hand-held ploughs.

We start the day with a hearty brunch in the farmers’ marquee while listening to local history expert Les Davies talk about farming life. Then there is time to watch the event and see demonstrations of rural crafts such as dry-stone walling and hedge-laying, plus the opportunity to decide on your particular favourites in the produce competitions. And, of course, there will be plenty of time to meet the farmers and sample a drop of scrumpy.

You’ll then be taken back to Yeo Valley Canteen, with its award-winning team of chefs who are preparing a special harvest lunch using delicious local produce. Meet members of the CL team and the folk from Yeo Valley, and be entertained with anecdotes about the highs and lows of farming and of finding love in the countryside from CL columnist Imogen Green. All guests will receive an exclusive goody bag with gifts from CL and Yeo Valley. This promises to be a fantastic day out in beautiful British countryside. We would love you to join us.
