Education

We feel that education is a vital part of running the farm, in order to help people understand the important role farmers have in safe-guarding the future of our countryside through the way our food is produced.  Our farm provides an excellent place for education in a relaxed atmosphere and by providing a hands on experience, everyone can get the most out of their visit.

 

We have gained CEVAS (Countryside Educational Visits Accrediation Scheme) Access to Farms certification.  The course is validated through the Open College Network which specialises in providing accreditation tailored to meet the needs of specific groups of adult learners .  This qualification guarantees groups will receive a safe, high quality visit to the farm.

 

For school visits we can provide learning opportunities for many of the National Curriculum subjects. For example habitat and species identification for Biology, inspiration for poems for English, provision of large areas for hands on Maths, orienteering for Geography....the list is endless! 

 

We also get many other groups and clubs visiting the farm, so if you have an interest in wildlife and our environment, want a relaxing walk or just want to know more about farming this may be an ideal location for you.

 

We encourage groups of people to come and visit our farm, either independently or with a guided tour.  We can organise your visit for you or tailor it to your needs.  Our trailer rides tend to be very popular with school visits and young children!
