Spring is in the air which means country walks are back. Farms are such fun in the spring. Blossom on the trees, lambs skipping through the fields.
There is a lovely little farm near us. It has a tea barn selling delicious homemade cakes, apple and pear juice from their orchard and gigantic sausage rolls from the resident pigs.
Sadly Little Fant Farm is only open for 3 hours on a Sunday and extra days during the school holidays.
Bear celebrated his 5th birthday at the farm. Unfortunately it was a very wet day. The children didn't seem to mind at all but the adults were huddled together in the barn. The rain also meant that the craft activities I had taken with me had to be done under the shelter of the barn rather than on the picnic tables in the farm yard so it was a little cramped.
Sonia did facepainting whilst the children did a scavenger hunt. The farm lunch was great. A small sandwich, a slice of sausage roll, veg sticks and a piece of cake. Sonia made my cousin a separate dairy free equivalent too.
At Easter we enjoyed the Easter trail around the farm with counting, obstacles and puzzles to solve.
Best bits:
It's free! There is a small parking charge if you park at the farm. There is on street parking a short walk away. It is also walking distance from the Maidstone Hospital bus route and East Farleigh train station.
The sausage rolls are AMAZING!!
