At this time of year, our staff, farmers and volunteers would be on the road to see you in person at Farm Open Days and shows across the country. But lockdown has changed that this year.
Online and at home activities to keep you and the children entertained and learning about the farming and nature!
Education Manager Gerry Turner has been busy created these fun filled, curriculum-linked learning topics straight from the CRT classroom.

CRT supports rural communities and businesses by restoring old and disused farming properties into centres of sustainable business.
These artisan businesses would normally be selling their beautiful items at shows across the country. This year, we are supporting these businesses by promoting them online at our CRT Village Show.
