The Fordhams of Dolgoch Farm,
Carmarthenshire, opened their farm to the public on Open Farm
Sunday, held on 1st June.
Nick Rebbeck, Learning on
the Farm Education Officer, helped them with health and safety aspects,
including a risk assessment.
A beautiful sunny day saw the farm well organised with a warm
welcome from the farmer and family. Information and farm
brochures were on display for visitors. Clear signs, prepared by
8-year-old twins Harry and Lily Fordham were at every relevant
spot to help visitors on an informative and enjoyable walk round
the farm. Grandfather Nick led the main walk at 2.00pm.
In all more than 35 local people of all ages walked the farm
throughout the day. Rhydlewis Pony and Trap Club also took
advantage of the event day by driving five traps with 10 riders
along the track and through the farm and woodlands.
