Farmer Appreciation Week – Northants
27th-31st January is Farmer Appreciation Week for the Harpers Brook and Wootton Brook catchments !ย
The RAIN Project is really excited to dedicate a week to celebrating our incredible farming community that greatly supports our local areas, including their vital efforts during times of flooding.
As part of the week, we will be visiting schools across our catchments, including Oakley Vale Primary and Wootton Primary, raising awareness of the crucial role farmers play and giving young people a chance to learn more about their work.
We look forward to sharing stories, saying thank you, and shining a spotlight on the amazing contributions of our local Northants farmers!
If you would like to celebrate the work of a local farmer, please share your experiences with us so!
