This week we had a league of nations at the farm. Marina from Paris, Orris from London, Chris from Brazil, Nick from Lyon, Julie from Quebec and Chris from Canada. Everyone was fantastic and pitched in to get the farm in shape for our upcoming cooking classes. The herb garden was tidied up and new herbs were planted.
