🐄 The Countess of Wessex visited Coverwood Farm in Surrey this morning, as Patron of Association of Shows - the Association of Show and Agricultural Organisations.

Her Royal Highness was there to hear about the importance of local food production, the challenges faced by farmers as a result of coronavirus and the opportunities facing farmers and food producers to meet the growing interest in supporting and buying locally and sustainably.

The Countess was given a tour by farmer Tim and spent time chatting with staff, including the team running the farm’s catering van which supported people in the nearby village during lockdown.
