Open Weekend at Blackmore Farm 6th & 7th June 2009 review

On the 6th and 7th June 2009 Blackmore Farm threw its gates open to the general public. Over the two days 1400 people looked around our 15th Century Manor House and mixed dairy and arable farm. We ran tractor and trailer rides around the farm, had numerous displays and exhibits and the opportunity for people to watch farming operations in action including hay making and milking. We were pleased to have the National Farmers Union (NFU) farming road show, run by Ian Ball. The interest and response from the general public was amazing. During the day we also had a falconer, Taunton Garrison rein acting scenes from the English Civil War period, and the house decorated with flowers by the Quantock Flower Club. All the proceeds from the day went to the support the Children’s Hospice Southwest and a local School 2 Farm project.
