2025 Spring and Summer groups now available

Saturday Afternoon Group

Join us for an enriching adventure at Farm School this spring/ summer! Our carefully crafted sessions, designed for children aged 5-15, offer a blend of nature exploration, food craftsmanship, and mindful experiences.

Miracle Catchers (Spring 1) spans 5 Saturday afternoons on March 8th, 15th, 2nd, 29th and 5th April from 13:30 to 15:30

Growing from the Ground up (Summer I) extends over 4 Saturdays on April 27th, 11th, 18th, and 25th from 13:30 to 15:30

Growing from the Ground up (Summer II) extends over 5 Saturdays on June 8th, 15th, 2nd, 29th and July 6th from 13:30 to 15:30

Each session is a journey into the wonders of nature and the art of food. Led by experienced educators and growers, our activities are tailored to the seasons and driven by child-led learning. From sowing seeds and nurturing plants to harvesting fresh produce, children will immerse themselves in the joys of organic farming.

During our time together, children ( and their parents) will engage in a variety of hands-on activities, including:

  • Planting a diverse range of vegetables such as radishes, beetroot, lettuce, chard, and French beans.

  • Learning about perrennials, no-dig planting and agroecological farming techniques.

  • Harvesting rhubarb, raspberries, new potatoes, herbs, and more.

  • Designing and preparing plant-based seasonal dishes, such as cauliflower rice, rhubarb crumble, and summer pizza.

  • Creating beautiful crafts inspired by nature, including wildflower arrangements, leaf rubbings, and paper pots.

Our curriculum integrates hands-on activities, heartwarming connections, and stimulating discussions, fostering a deep appreciation for nature and sustainable living. Through cooking plant-based dishes, creating beautiful crafts, and celebrating seasonal traditions, children will cultivate valuable skills and lasting memories.

On the final session, participants will come together to prepare and enjoy a delicious autumn feast, symbolizing the culmination of their learning journey.

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience, we encourage children to dress appropriately for outdoor activities and bring a water bottle and snacks. Our off-grid farm setting provides ample opportunities for exploration, with sheltered spaces available for inclement weather.

Come join us at Farm School and embark on a summer of growth, discovery, and fun! Places are limited so please book soon to avoid disappointment.
