How we Achieve our Mission

Educational Groups

Farm School runs weekly after school clubs for primary age children (April- November), pre-school groups in the morning, and home-schooling days across the seasons. Through our educational groups, we aim to help children develop a sense of curiosity and gain the skills they need by running their own mini farm to establish a life-long relationship with our land, based both on harmony and gratitude.

During these groups, children are engaged in fun, hands-on, farming activities. These vary from soil preparation, composting, sowing, to caring for and tending on plants, harvesting, cooking, and sharing their own crops. At Farm School, we believe in the interconnectedness of everything in nature, where learning goes beyond food to a much bigger ecosystem made up of micro-organisms, and wildlife.

To ensure inclusivity, our pricing policy is to go for the lowest rates in comparison with other similar land-based educational activities with similar number ratios, each group runs with a maximum of 10 children. Our current rate is £6hr.

Community Events

Farm School runs a number of annual community events where people adults and children are invited to be a part of the farm life for a day, activities these days range from sowing, planting, harvesting, and cooking healthy, and sustainable food. Booking is essential for our community events for a small charge to help us cover costs. Healthy, plant-based organic lunch is always available on the day, also for a minimum charge of £3/person to cover ingredients costs (a seasonal soup, served with freshly picked salad, and local bread). We use fresh produce from the farm, Emma’s Bread, and other ethically sourced ingredients. On our events we work closely with environmental organisations and local businesses to promote ethical and responsible living for all, please get in touch if you would like to join us in any of our events.

School Trips

We have hosted a number of successful school trips where children learn about the seasons, food, wildlife, and nature. We offer a variety of programs and can tailor activities according to the groups’ curricular needs. Please get in touch for details.
