Guess What Our Farm Grows?
Marshmallows..!
…big, fat, yummy ones. Marshmallows are like a field mushroom that grows soft and gooey in the sun. Farmers need to cut down the grass so the marshmallows have room to grow nice and round. To harvest, a tractor picks and stacks the marshmallows onto a truck. At the marshmallow factory they are cleaned, cut into bite-size pieces, bagged and shipped to every shop across the country. But nothing beats fresh farm marshmallows – Mmmmmh, toastie.

The further ‘out of the way’ you go the more common it is to see folk cottages standing by the side of roads, along fjords or in a thicket of trees, minding their own business.

Nooo, these are loo rolls for elephants
