Young farmers  club     for 8-16 year olds.

Our Young Farmers get involved in all aspects of farm life, from feeding and caring for the animals to animal husbandry,  mucking out and more. Each season brings new tasks, so no two terms are ever the same, keeping the experience exciting and varied  

 Our Young Farmers also have their own animals to care for, giving them a sense of responsibility and ownership. They have the opportunity to decide whether they want to sell any babies born on the farm and raise funds to buy their own animal feed. In addition, they run regular events on the farm for visitors, gaining valuable experience in event planning and teamwork while showcasing the animals they've cared for. It’s a fantastic way for them to develop entrepreneurial and organisational skills, all while being hands-on with the farm animals. Click here to see their animals 

Young Farmers also work towards gaining AQA Unit Award Scheme certification in farming, which recognises the skills they acquire during their time on the farm. It’s a brilliant opportunity for children to immerse themselves in farm life and develop practical, transferable skills for the future. AQA registration is at an additional cost of £50 per academic year. 

We offer a variety of sessions throughout the year, including Saturday mornings, after-school clubs, and school holiday programmes. 

Parents are requested to drop their children off for the session and not stay.        

We also run an animal care club which is for children aged 5-11 years,  this group focuses on meeting, feeding, petting, and walking the animals, and is  perfect for those who prefer not to take part in animal husbandry tasks and learning for AQA certification. Click here to find out more.

 We provide a range of clubs throughout the year, offering everything from one-off taster sessions during the school holidays to term-based sessions during the school terms. This allows children and teenagers to get involved whenever it suits them, whether they’re looking for a fun holiday activity or a more regular farm experience. Our farm is CEVAS accredited to provide educational visits, ensuring a high standard of learning and safety. All staff running the courses are DBS checked, first aid trained, and have completed safeguarding training, so you can feel confident that your child is in safe and experienced hands during their time at the farm.
