Go Rural For the Kids
Is there anything more sweet that seeing a child experience something for the first time?
There's lots to do in agritourism for children and most of it needn't be expensive for kids to go rural. There are dedicated on farm adventure playgrounds, play parks, kids clubs and play barns for children and they can participate in all the best farm activities such as fruit picking, feeding the animals, tucking into fresh ice cream or just enjoying a picnic in the freedom of the great outdoors.
The looks of wonder, the smiles of delight and the gasps of amazement are not hard to find when kids go rural. Many farm stays are child friendly, not to mention farm tours and experiences - alpaca walks, anyone? Kids just love getting stuck and you know when they come home with muddy knees, rosy cheeks and brand new memories, they've had a good day and they'll want to do it again. When your child goes rural, it's an introduction to the great outdoors and the beginning of a relationship that will last a lifetime.
Hugh Grierson Organic, Perthshire
MEET THE GRIERSONS
Poultrymeat is at the heart of one of Scotland’s national dishes – cock-a-leekie – a hearty broth made with chicken or fowl and leeks.
The Griersons produce and sell organic chicken, turkeys and eggs along with their pasture-fed Scotch Beef and Lamb directly from an “honesty hut” on the farm. They do all their own butchery on the farm, selling “Hugh Grierson Organic” at farmers markets, speciality food shops throughout Scotland and online. They also supply some of Scotland’s top restaurants.
The family provide hands-on educational and tasting tours of Newmilns farm by arrangement depending on the season. The Victorian farmhouse is available for self-catering farm-stays. Guests will marvel at the views across Strathearn valley’s productive farmland to the picturesque Highlands.
