DATES have been announced for a series of summer walks at a farm specialising in organic growing techniques.

Home Farm at Newby Wiske, near Northallerton, is one of four that are part of Riverford Organic Farmers, the company which deliver vegetable boxes to 47,000 homes each week.

The summer walks are returning after their successful launch last year and will be led by Greg Penn, who works at the farm.

Participants will be able to see what is growing through the summer months at Home Farm.

“You’ll be able to sample the farm’s veg straight from the ground while taking in the beautiful North Yorkshire scenery and wildlife - and at the end of the walks, enjoy a small, tasty selection of Riverford picnic goodies,” said a spokesman.

The walks will take place on June 29, July 27, August 31 and September 28, starting at 5pm. To book a place, visit riverford.co.uk/tor/walks-home. Tickets are £4 per person.

*The company has recently rebranded, changing its name from Riverford Organic Farms to Riverford Organic Farmers.
