TV soap actress Leah Hackett, who plays Tina McQueen in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks has been putting on her wellies to spend a day on a farm during the Year of Food and Farming.
In our series of videos, you can watch Leah having fun at Blaze Farm in Cheshire as she gets her hands dirty, milks cows, shears sheep, collects eggs and makes delicious ice cream.
Leah was delighted by her experience on the farm. Blaze Farm has opened my eyes to what happens in the countryside on a daily basis.
I would encourage everyone to experience for themselves the thrills and spills of life on a farm.
Tony Cooke, Programme Director for the Year of Food and Farming, said, It is fantastic that Leah has supported the Year by spending the day on a farm and I really I hope the video clips show young people how much fun life on a farm can be, whilst dispelling some of the myths about lawnmowers being used to harvest crops!
There are plenty of farmers across the country who open their farm gates each year to give young people a taste of the country. If you’ve enjoyed watching Leah have fun at Blaze Farm, find out more about how you can take part in farm activities in our section on Visits.
