GoodGymers eased into this morning's shift at Oxford City Farm's open morning by saying hello to the rabbits. They were very happy to be let out of their run, but put up some resistance to being caught to go back inside (the rabbits, not the GoodGymers). The rest of the morning was mainly taken up by weeding the edamame and potato patches, and harvesting the potatoes. Some of the children visiting the farm were very good at potato harvesting too. Emma found some amusingly-shaped potatoes, but the less said about that, the better...

Anna took a wheelbarrow of "fat hen" (a weed that hens find delicious) to feed the hungry chickens, and helped the visiting children feed the sheep. We then had a break for drinks and biscuits before heading back to the potatoes, and Chris and Jane made a den under a willow tree. If only we had known about the shady willow tree earlier, when the sun was beating down!

When we were done we said a quick goodbye to the sheep and played a small game of "is this electric fence turned on?" (No GoodGymers were harmed in the making of this task.)
