term time

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  

Young Farmers can 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.
