BBC?s Countryfile Showcases Somerset SchoolÂ
Over six million viewers ?tuned in to BBC1?s Countryfile last Sunday (24 July) to see what was happening at Queen’s College in Taunton.Â
Adam Henson, ?the BBC Countryfile presenter and farmer from the award-winning Cotswold Farm Park, showcased ?the opportunities available to pupils at Queen’s College in Taunton to learn about how to grow and rear food.
To top it all off, celebrity Chef, Michael Caines MBE who has two Michelin stars, taught pupils how to prepare and cook up the food in the school?s kitchen classrooms.?Â
The opportunity arose following a meeting between award winning Head of Food and Nutrition at Queen?s College, Joe Mann and his team, and Countryfile presenter Adam Henson at the 2022 Eat Game Awards in London.   Mr Mann, who was named ?Best Teacher in England? by the British Nutrition Foundation in their 2020 Education Awards for championing Food and Nutrition, told Adam Henson about his field-to-fork approach to teaching at Queen?s.
He explained how he wanted to get some school pigs to educate his students about where their food comes from, in conjunction with his productive kitchen garden that is already located on the school site.  Â
Adam agreed to provide the pigs and to film it as a segment for BBC?s Countryfile. Â
The first segment opened with Adam rounding up two lively 10-week-old Berkshire piglets to sell to Joe Mann, before delivering them to a small group of Queen?s students at their new home in Somerset.
