Our friends at the Soil Association combine in one clean swoop a holiday, Easter, family fun (Egg Hunting), going back to the farm and promoting green agriculture with their Go somewhere Green and Beautiful this Easter around Scotland.
Here is the program:
day out hunting for Easter eggs, exploring the farm and enjoying activities
like egg painting and meeting the animals. You might even be lucky enough
to see some new-born lambs. There are six hunts in Scotland:
Saturday, 11 April: Torr Organic
Farm, Castle Douglas, D&G; and Whitmuir Farm, Borders
Sunday, 12 April: Pillars of
Hercules, Fife; Cream o’ Galloway, Castle Douglas, D&G; and Easter
Ross Organics, Alness, Highland
Monday, 13 April: Wester Lawrenceton,
Forres, Highland"
For some events a small admission
fee might be charged
If you visit Whitmuir Organics whose tag is "the earth works…look after the beasties and the
earth does the rest" you might even meet the very healthy Mr and Miss Piggie (pictured below).
Chocolate Eggs for these events are generously donated by Green & Blacks Organic.
There are Green Egg Hunts beyond Scotland, more events take place in the rest of the UK from April 4th to April 18, 2009.
