The schoolchildren visiting a farm for the first time
Schoolchildren visiting a farm for the first time are often overwhelmed by a "sensory overload", according to a charity helping them understand where their food comes from.
One farmer hosting young visitors at his site in Staffordshire said some of them had never seen a cow before.
The farm visit was organised by The Country Trust and part-funded through the government's Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
Katie Busfield, coordinator, said: "Farmers are all really passionate about their jobs and they really enjoy sharing that world with the children."
