Schoolchildren visiting a farm for the first time are often overwhelmed by a “sensory overload”, according to a charity helping them understand where their food comes from.
One farmer hosting young visitors at his site in Staffordshire said some of them had never seen a cow before.
The children arrived under a government-backed scheme operated by the Country Trust.
Katie Busfield, coordinator, said: “Farmers are all really passionate about their jobs and they really enjoy sharing that world with the children.”
