Here at the Farm we try our best to be self-sufficient, growing much of our own fruit and veg. The children/young people are encouraged to get involved with the cultivation of potatoes, tomatoes and strawberries, plus herbs and spices in our poly tunnel and veggie patch.
It is hugely therapeutic for the children to feel the soil against their skin, whilst enjoying a hugh sense of achievement as they plant seedlings and harvest the fruit/vegetables for our chef to cook for their dinner.
“This is a fantastic experience that the children
will cherish for the rest of their lives”
