It was the best attended since the event begand 11 years ago, and although the 'uniform' was a guard against some mud and a bit of rain, people did not have to deal with the floods which have cancelled other shows this summer.
The sun shone, the weather proved to be kind and enabled children and grown ups alike to enjoy a whole host of farming demonstrations and activities.
The tractor and trailer rides were as popular as ever, as were the sheep shearing demonstrations and automated milking machines, events where the hosts were inundated with questions as visitors watched .
A barbecue was enjoyed using meats produced on the farm, there was a permanent queue for the dairy's own farmhouse ice cream, and local suppliers in the farmers' market proved extremely popular with a variety of produce available for sampling and purchase.
Local beers and wines stocked in the farm shop went down a treat, and two areas immensely popular with the children were the new play area and the small animal enclosures.
As ever, admission to the event was free but generous donations received from donkey rides, a bucking bronco, tractor and trailer rides, face painting and a bouncy castle meant that two local charities will benefit and the monies will be divided between the North West Air Ambulance and Pendlebury Children's Hospital.
Little Town owner Janet Forshaw said "This has been the best attended event that we have had over the years, everyone commented how much they had enjoyed it all. It is a great opportunity for children to see how their food is produced and to teach them the importance of local and British Foods both to the economy and in reducing our Carbon footprint. As the slogan says "local food is smiles better
And she added "Special thanks go to the army of helpers which included family, friends and volunteers, without which the day could not go ahead."
