Educational Visits
Our dedicated education team can arrange a variety of exciting educational experiences which meet many requirements of the national curriculum. They support a wide range of courses for learners of all abilities at key stages 1 and 2 as well as ASDAN.
We have developed our facilities to address the changing needs of learners and believe we can provide valuable opportunities for teachers to enrich the experience of their students both in the classroom and at the farm.
We recommend that you call our Education Team to arrange the best visit for you ... a few of the activities available are outlined below:

Leaf Trail - leaf identification activity with an idea for woodland art
