A unique chance to walk the fields with Andrew, harvesting the seasonal produce and hearing about the history of the farm. You will hear about its development, food production, working with the environment and all the trials and tribulations of modern day farming in the UK.Our school Welly Walks are usually 2 hours of fun and discovery. These sessions will take you across the fields at Claremont where students learn about the seasonal food production from table top indoor strawberries and the outdoor soft fruits, to potatoes, rhubarb and a variety of vegetables. Pupils will learn where their bread originates from and processes surrounding crop harvesting. The walks will also show the diversity of the environment and wildlife to be found whilst farming on the urban fringe.
The Welly Walks can also incorporate an interactive cookery demonstration from Brian Mellor which will complete the field to fork process, allowing students to sample the produce they picked only minutes before. The 30 minute sessions demonstrate how to transform the freshly harvested ingredients into something delicious and tasty, whilst emphasising the importance of the 5 a day programme to a healthy lifestyle.
We also offer a “hands on” cooking experience for groups of up to 10 children. This includes a welly walk, an introduction to basic dough making, topping the pizza using fresh ingredients from the garden and farm, followed by a 2 course meal around the dining table.
Welly Walks run all year round but the best time to book in is from the beginning of May to the end of August, when we guarantee there will always be something to pick and taste on the walk.
