The farms are a charity that allow urban children to experience the beauty of nature and the outdoors. “It is an intense, ‘learning through doing’ experience of a different life – for children who may not know where their food comes from and have limited opportunities to explore the outside world,” the website reads.
The Duchess visited school children from Vauxhall Primary School in London as they met farm animals, feed sheep and got to be more familiar with where their food comes from.
