Lasting for a full day and including a delicious homemade lunch and afternoon tea, Yeo Valley’s Farm Adventure Tours will be led by local expert Les Davies MBE. Whilst taking a short walk around the edge of the Mendip Hills, providing glorious views over the valley, you will get the chance to learn about the importance of organic farming as well as the history and myths of the surrounding landscape. In addition, you’ll get to see some of the results of Yeo Valley’s environmental and conservation work, such as dry-stone walls, hedges and woodland, as well as meeting Yeo Valley’s award-winning British Friesian cows.
The dates for the Farm Tours are the 7th and 21st June, 5th and 19th July, 30th August and 20th September.
