Touching and holding animals whatever their size or shape is not all about children, even though Rachel Searstone has based her Purple Pig Company business mostly around them.

When Rachel appears at Driffield Show on July 17 and Bishop Wilton Show on July 20, the lady with a menagerie of farm and furry animals says she will be welcoming people young and not-so-young on her stand who will all benefit from that good feeling people get while being around them. “It’s the way it works,” says Rachel who is based near Pocklington, visits primary schools for much of her time and also attends Eastrington Show, which took place a fortnight ago.

“Now I only have three Kune Kune breeding sows, plus a small flock of rare breed sheep that includes Wensleydales, Herdwicks, Greyfaced Dartmoors and Ouessants from France and some pigmy goats.” Having young animals to go into schools is important to Rachel as part of the KS1 curriculum covers not just farm animals but life cycles.
