Caught short? Please spend a penny!

We really need better toilets at the Farm. Our recent grants didn't cover such facilities but our grant success means we'll be expecting more visitors next year, who'll need to use them! So we've recently launched a Crowdfunder appeal to raise the money for new toilets. Please share this with your friends and, if you can, pledge your support... but hurry, the appeal only runs for a few more weeks!
