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. 

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!
