Why visit

A week of learning outside the traditional classroom environment has many benefits :

- a sense of pride and achievement from taking on purposeful jobs
- understanding the value of hardwork and the improved confidence and self esteem that can come with that
- developing meaningful relationships, aided by the nurturing small group environment (and many benefits from sideways listening)
- learning new skills that can be taken back to homes, schools and communities
- increased sense of wellbeing from fresh air, active days and good food
- a plethora of curriculum related learning that comes NATURALLY with being on the farm. Science, maths, history, geography, english language even is part of every conversation, without trying!

Why only ten

Our maximum group size is ten, plus up to 3 visiting staff. Once here we break into smaller activity groups, always with a member of visiting staff and a member of farm staff. This small size ensures a truly hands on experience and allows all voices to be heard.
