Exciting News!

Farmeco is hosting a festival!

21st May - 31st May 2012

Farmeco is hosting the SELF Festival (Sustainable Environmental Living for the Future) again this year. 


SELF is all about inspiring people to:

  • be happy
  • learn lots of interesting things
  • be change agents and make our world a better place
We will be doing all sorts of exciting activities such as learning survival skills, making bread, strawbail building, linking to friends all around the world and much, much more!



 Last year, groups of school children worked together to make this life size model of a blue whale. The blue whale was then surrounded by plastic litter to raise awareness of the work of Plastic Oceans.








 The children also made bread, learning valuable skills and traditional techniques. This picture shows just a small selection of the beautiful designs the children created.

They look delicious! I'm feeling hungry now ...!







If you would like to watch some videos from last year's SELF Festival, showing the making of the blue whale and the bread, follow the links below:
