HUNDREDS of people took the opportunity to see how local farms operate on Open Farm Sunday last weekend.

At Severndale Farm on the A48 at Tidenham, members of the public could watch displays including milking, sheep shearing and cows having their hooves trimmed.

There was also tractor pulling and working vintage tractors.

Tractor trailer rides from the farm to the Hanley farm shop and Tidenham landshare were also very popular.

Tom Edwards, who runs the farm, had around 40 volunteers help put on the event.

He said: “We are one of hundreds of farms across the country taking part in Open Farm Sunday.

“It’s an opportunity for us to show people what we do and how we do it.”
