We went along to Le Hechet Farm, a working Guernsey Dairy farm, for a mooch about the pumpkins! It’s a working farm so immediately a super massive hit with the toddler! There were pumpkins available in all shapes, colours and sizes. However, you may need a pick up truck to take home some of the giant sizes. We saw little piggy wiggies wiggling their bums about, moo moo cows and some sparkling tractors that we could have a ride on! The farm also make their own ice cream which is delish! There is often a hefty debate on local social media about why this part of the island isn’t as densely populated with rabbit hutch sized new builds. Often people fail to see how important and precious our Guernsey Dairy farms are. There is no dairy milk imported to the island. Whilst getting some food shopping today I wondered how much exactly of everything on the conveyor belt would end up in a black food caddy? The way we live and our perceptions about how we live are so distorted, that if everything were de-fogged and demystified we might be in a brave new world sooner rather than too late? Pumpkins, they were amazing at Le Hechet Farm. It’s good to let your feet sink into the mud mulch of working farm! My toddler can sing the chorus of ‘Old Macdonald Had a Farm’ and we belted it out in the car ride home.
