We visited a range of different stalls including ‘eggtastic’ eggs, lif eof chicks with the Coop, bees, food assurance, cereals, muesli,transport, animals, food miles and dairy.
🍎 🥩 🐣 🥚 🐄
At each stall we learned about the importance of farming in these different areas, the jobs connected to them and the different skills and interests required for different roles.

Our last stop was a trip to the auction mart, where we bid on the different animals that we had met earlier in the day.
