Fancy a day on the farm? We are holding a volunteering taster day at Rice Lane City Farm on the 01/10/08 between 10am to 3:30pm
Rice Lane is a peaceful oasis in an urban sprawl comprising 224 acres of countryside, 11 of which are managed woodland.
A variety of rare breed farm animals are kept, including farm breeds of pigs, red poll cattle, Ryeland award-winning sheep as well as various goats, ponies and poultry. This historic site is also the resting place of Robert Tressel, author of 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist', Edgar Allen Poe's illustrator James Carling and a number of pirates!
If you are interested in finding out more about the farm and getting stuck in on a taster day please contact Paul at vinvolved on paul@vliverpool.org.uk or 0151 707 1113.
