If a spot of quirky fun is what you and your kids need this Hallowe'en, then get wellied-up and head for Riverford near Totnes.

Their Pumpkin Day is legendary and with good reason; it’s full of busy fun, tasty food and a good dose of fresh air…and it’s free entry!

Children’s activities include apple pressing, worm digging, pumpkin carving, face painting and vegetable games. When that all gets too much, they can settle down to paint spooky pictures in the creativity area or take a tractor ride around the farm to see where the team grow the veg for the farm’s vegboxes.

“Our Pumpkin Day is a wonderful way to celebrate the arrival of autumn and all the fantastic food that it brings,” says Guy Watson, the founding farmer of Riverford. “It’s a free day out with loads for both kids and adults to enjoy, right here on the farm”.

If you’ve still got some energy left after all that, you can string some chillies to make an original Christmas present, and everyone will get a sneaky first taste of Riverford’s Christmas food too.

You’ll find plenty of tasty organic food and drink for you to buy including tempting Riverford Field Kitchen soups, tagines and stews, entry is free, all are welcome (you don’t have to be a Riverford customer) and there’s no need to book. Visit www.riverford.co.uk/pumpkinday for more information.
