Prince Charles opens Highgrove

The Prince of Wales is one of the first landowners in the UK to open up his farm to children.

The move is part of a new offensive to offer every child aged 5 to 11 at school in England the chance next year to visit a working farm and learn about food and farming methods. That’s more than one million pupils.

Prince Charles, who has agreed to be Patron of the Year, is keen that his Home Farm, part of the Highgrove estate near Tetbury, Gloucestershire, will play an integral part in the project.
