Scone-making, grinding grains and butter-making came to a village school to give children a taste of farming.

Pupils at St Andrew's School in Buckland Monachorum enjoyed a hands-on exploration of the farm-to-fork food journey.

Interactive workshops led by Farmwise Devon discovered food origins and production. Children learned about cereals in foods, and even practised milking a model cow.

A highlight was butter-making, which pupils proudly spread on scones they had baked before enjoying a well-earned taste.

Farmwise Devon works with schools to bring farming to life, helping pupils understand how Devon’s farms contribute to everyday life.

Headteacher Debbie Nunn said: “What a fantastic day of hands-on learning, with delicious treats. Farmwise brought Devon farming to life and showed children where food on their plates comes from.”
