Winter doesn’t mean the work stops on the farm! There are still plenty of maintenance jobs to be completed to ensure we can continue to welcome educational farm visits and activities throughout the year.

This week, Learn2 Cornwall have done a fantastic job re-varnishing the Kazuba compost toilet and clearing the surrounding vegetation to keep the area tidy, accessible and well maintained.

Alongside getting stuck into the practical tasks, they also had the opportunity to learn more about the history of the farm and discover the tools and techniques used to carry out the work.

Your efforts help us keep the farm ready for future educational visits and activities! 🌱👏

I completed the original CEVAS training a few years ago and have since updated my training from June this year by completing the CEVAS Plus programme.

This ensures that my knowledge and practice remain current when working with schools and groups, and being able to deliver educational farm visits.

This ranges from health and safety, risk assessments, pre visit forms and updated safeguarding consent forms. Thanks to the LEAF Education team and staff for running the courses.

Thank you, Gwinear School, for your visit to The Vellyn- Trembothick farm to learn about where our food comes from. We discussed types of food in how it is grown from a plant or animal, food miles and we reviewed the challenges in farming this year with the extreme weather.

🍁 🍃 Compared with January, we have enjoyed better weather in October. School visits this term have focused on seasonal changes, habitats, food miles, local food, food production and farming challenges.

The schools engaged well, with return visits encouraged to explore how the farm changes through the seasons. 🌾🔍🐞 AHDB LEAF Education
