Students at Oathall were privileged to give TV personality and renowned horticulturist Alan Titchmarsh a guided tour of the farm and growing areas on Friday.
Arriving at Oathall to officially open the farm shop, Alan Titchmarsh said that his visit to Oathall was ‘nothing more than a dream come true’ and that Oathall was ‘a beacon of how schools should be’.
Mr Titchmarsh was visiting the college to officially open the farm shop. The shop has been developed with support from a number of benefactors and organisations and will be open two days a week on Friday and Saturday selling farm and local produce to the community. Students are involved in all aspects of the operation from meat production to managing a commercial enterprise.
