Pink Tractors

We have been asked several times recently for pink tractors - and now we have some! These fabulous Pink Ride-on Pedal Tractor are ideal for all lady farmers. Stocks are limited though, so get in quick if you would like one.

This reminds me of the Tractor Girls - 10 girls, 10 tractors - and they drove them from John O'Groats to Lands End and then across Ireland all in the aid of charity. 100% of the proceeds go to 2 cancer and 2 motor neurone charities, so visit their website and donate for these very worthy causes. I got a lift in a tractor about 1 mile up the road yesterday - believe me 1000 miles in a tractor is an awfully long way! Visit their website at http://www.tg2010.co.uk/

Opening the gates this Sunday?

I really hope the weather holds for the weekend. Sunday in particular...

Care about your food? We certainly do! That’s the message from farmers across the UK who are preparing to open their barn doors/gates/pens on Open Farm Sunday THIS SUNDAY 13th June!

The event last year was a fantastic success. 140,000 visitors were welcomed on to 425 farms across the country. Visitors old and young alike got the chance to meet the farmers who grow their food and care for the countryside.

Open Farm Sunday is a day in the year when you get the chance to understand the true story and value behind our food, not forgetting the dedication and skill of farmers who produce it.
Every farm involved in Open Farm Sunday puts on a unique and individual event (mostly free too!). You get a real insight into how food is produced and the wildlife that thrives in hedgerows, trees and some even in dry stone walling.

You’ll find a whole host of activities, from tractor and trailer rides to pig-racing, a gentle(ish) farm walk followed by a sturdy cuppa through to a full-on vegetable olympics!

To find your local farms taking part visit the ‘Find a Farm’ section at the Farm Sunday website www.openfarmsunday.org.

Even if the weather isn’t looking too clever, still go along and support your local farm (wellies and waterproof coats are probably a good idea).

www.farmtoysonline.co.uk are passionate supporters of all things 'farmy' (naturally!) so we're are offering a fantastic prize to the best photo’s emailed to us of your visits to farms near you at sales@farmtoysonline.co.uk.

Snow, snow, everywhere.....

A Happy New Year to you all.



You may have noticed that I haven't written my blog for a wee while, in fact well before Christmas. We were so busy in the run up to the big day that we were all working ridiculous hours just to get all your presents to you in time. I was delighted if I managed to feed my children a decent meal each day, never mind twice a day! They got quite addicted to ready meals, which are normally a complete no-no in our house.



After a well earned rest, it was back to work and our January Sale. The children went back to school on Monday until Tuesday, then the snow arrived and they have been off ever since. Above is a view from our office, not such a bad place to work. The school have arranged online lessons, which the children think is great fun (long may it last!). I was hoping to catch up on the paperwork, which has been ignored for the last 6 weeks, but funnily enough I don't seem to have got very far.

You can grab yourself a bargain in our sale. We have at least 10% off most of our products, including Bruder, Britains and our Farm Buildings. Plus up to 50% off in our Warehouse Clearance. So why not get really organised and buy now for birthdays later in the year, fill the present cupboard for the parties your children will be invited to or, if you are really organised, buy for next Christmas!

Later this month we are off to buy lots more exciting new stock - this is the part of the year I love! -weather permitting of course.

Best wishes
Julia
