Learning Through Every Season

No two visits are exactly the same because life on the farm changes throughout the year, giving pupils the opportunity to experience farming in every season.

Spring is our busiest and most popular time of year, with newborn lambs, goat kids, chicks and other young animals providing a fantastic learning experience. Due to high demand, early booking is essential to secure your preferred date.!

Summer focuses on growing crops, pollinators, wildlife and the busy work involved in caring for animals and maintaining the farm.

Autumn is the perfect time to explore harvesting, food production, seasonal changes and how farmers prepare for the colder months.

Winter offers a fascinating insight into how livestock are cared for during the colder weather, alongside seasonal farming tasks and wildlife conservation.

Every season offers unique learning opportunities, meaning schools can visit throughout the year and enjoy a different educational experience each time. We are happy to tailor activities to suit your curriculum topics and learning objectives, whatever the season.
