What are Farm School groups like?
At Farm School, we, the leaders, and growers co-design and follow a scheme of work based on the seasons and a child-led pedagogy that focuses on the discovery, and capitalises on the senses, logical as well as intuitive reasoning. Our activities involve the hands, hearts, and heads, and revolve around healthy organic food and mindfulness and wellbeing in nature and understanding and looking after our natural world.

Harvesting different summer fruit vegetables
Cooking and nourishing as we:
Make summer salads and flower fritters
Wild Herb Tea Making: Gather spring herbs like mint and nettle to brew natural teas.
Make and share spring rolls: using a variety of fresh vegetables and legumes.
Make miso from organic beans and rice
Creating and making as we:
Crafting nature-inspired wind chimes and mobiles
Clay modelling with impressions from summer leaves and flowers
Storytelling and collaborative mural painting inspired by the season
Music-making and singing around the fire with handmade natural instruments
🌻 Celebration and Reflection
On the final Saturday, we’ll prepare and share a Summer Celebration Feast with families
Campfire gathering with music, stories, and a Gratitude Circle
Each child will create a nature-inspired memory card to take homeOn the last session, the group will prepare and cook a delicious autumn feast to share and celebrate all they have learnt and shared together.
Getting ready for Farmschool: The food we prepare will be made and eaten by the children during each session. Please bring a water bottle and appropriate clothing plus extra snacks for your child if they are particularly hungry. We allow for snack time during each session. Please bring a small flannel or towel for hand drying. Suitable clothing such as boots and coats with extra layers in cold days and sun protection for sunny days is essential. We are an off-grid open and outdoor educational farm setting so dressing warmly in the outdoors is indispensable. We do have a sheltered large kitchen on site and a fully enclosed poly tunnel to use in case of strong winds and/ or rain.
