Sample delicious goodies from some of Airfield's favourite suppliers.
• Get down and dirty with farm tours in the company of the Airfield farmers and catch the fascinating display of vintage farm machinery. Join the Airfield gardeners for a stroll around the ornamental and food gardens and pick up some great tips along the way. Drop into one of the many food, farming, safety, science and gardening talks happening throughout the festival.
• Watch master sheep shearer Rodney Bryan & Godfrey Potterton MC as the sheep are given their annual wool cut. The story of milk will showcase the Jersey herd milking at 10.30 am each day. You can take part in milk tasting & butter making all day too.
