The 2011 Mere Brow Giant Pumpkin Competition held at the farm on Saturday 22nd October was a great success.
As a result Windmill Animal Farm will become the
regular home for the annual event.

The 2011 Mere Brow Giant Pumpkin Competition marked the 17th year of the event and, as always, a great day was had by all. We also succeded in raising £700 for charity.

Mark O'Hanlon, last year’s winner, does it again!
