Thirty years ago, children's writer and now the children's laureate, Michael Morpurgo and his wife Clare set up Farms for City Children.
The idea was that city children would be given the chance to see what it's like to live and work on a farm for a week.
Since then, a staggering 50,000 young people from schools all over the country have stayed at one of three farms in North Devon, Pembrokeshire and Gloucestershire. They feed the animals, milk the cows, muck out pigs and help with all the jobs that need doing around the farm.
Felicity Finch joined Clare Morpurgo and a group of 9 year olds from Peckham in South London for their week at Wick Court, an Elizabethan manor house and farm run organically by farmer, Jonathan Crump.
