A couple from Welshpool have decided to offer a farm day out with a difference – for grown-ups only!

Catriona and Jonathan Benson at Argae Cottage have held several open days for families but wanted to spread the experience further and give adults more time to enjoy what a farm has to offer.“They’ve always been very well attended. They are often very busy days, filled by families with young children.

‘A Day on the Farm’ has now been born and visitors are invited to spend the day at Argae Cottage – a small family farm, focusing on animal welfare, and producing free range pork, lamb and beef which are sold direct from the farm.A guided tour around the farm will allow visitors to meet the various livestock and see how the farm is run.

In the afternoon, there will be a unique chance to get up close and personal with some of the farm’s most affectionate residents – the flock of Black Welsh Mountain sheep.“We have Clover – who will happily try to sit on your knee, and Fidget – who loves nothing better than a neck scratch.
