Open day photos

The day started very damp and gloomy, but the forecast was for a gradual improvement....

Rosie setting up her pop-up food van in a wet deserted farmyard. Rosie's homemade burgers were wonderful, and after an umpromising start she did a good trade later....

At least our farm shop was looking lovely and bright, unlike the weather outside....

Three conservation organisations set up their information stands in the cob barn - Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and the local hedgehog rescue with a real life rescued hedgehog....

The cob barn soon filled with people having their faces painted and making mini hedgehogs out of teasals, as well as warming by the wood-burner and admiring the landscape paintings from workshops held on the farm....

Sonja with her peace tent and raffle, as the weather moves from grey to white....

The cow-shed-cafe serving hot soup, drinks and cake, set up in our veg packing area....

A tour of the bee-friendly garden.....

Land And Sea choir sang and the Cob Nuts recited poetry around the campfire outside the cob barn, and by the end of the afternoon you could even see the sea!

Our open day was held in partnership with the CSA Network UK, and despite the weather we were very pleased with the amount of people who came to their community farm to look around, take part, help out, chat, eat cake, do their shopping, listen to singing and poetry, admire art, and support us and our fellow community organisations. Many many thanks to everybody who helped to make the day such a success.
