Group Experience Days

Experience life on the land through group visits to the farm. Our Experience Days are a fantastic way to learn more about food, farming and nature connection. Below is a guide to some of the opportunities we offer at the farm, we can be flexible in arranging days that fit your needs. 

You can also combine Experience Days with venue hire in our beautiful roundhouse or yurt.

Thanks to our customer supported Community Fund, if you’re a small not-for-profit organisation working with underrepresented or disadvantaged groups, we can sometimes fund group placements to the farm free of charge. Get in touch with to find out more.

Farmer for a Day

Our popular ‘Farmer for a Day’ package aims to give groups the opportunity to find out where their food comes from, learn about organic growing and take part in farming activities. Groups can have a go at being farmers for half a day, a full day or for several days during the growing season (April-October). 

Wildlife Ranger for a Day

Join us for a wildlife-focussed session, helping us to manage our land to create a biodiverse and nature-rich landscape. You could be helping us with maintaining our nectar-rich flower borders, bramble bashing, hedgerow care, planting for pollinators, building nest boxes or insect hotels, carrying out wildlife surveys or planting native trees. You’ll learn how to identify native plants, insects and birds, why wildlife is important for farming and how to support biodiversity in a farmed landscape. 

Organic Field-to-Fork Pizza Day

With seasonal produce grown here on The Farm, learn how to make delicious thin crust pizzas. You’ll pick your own toppings and create delicious salads from our fields, learning a little about each crop you pick and how we grow it,  then use our traditional cob-oven to cook a delicious lunch to share. (please note there is an additional charge for this session to cover ingredients).

Nature Connection Day Course

Facilitated by our experienced partner EcoWild, we will provide your group with the opportunity to connect with the land and each other, learn new skills, release stress, get active and improve personal and group resilience. Your day will be a bespoke programme, and could include a guided foraging walk, learning bushcraft and forest skills, mindfulness practice or making crafts from locally sourced natural materials. You will leave The Farm with new skills to immerse yourself in nature, feeling grounded in yourself and with a connection to the others in your group.

Health & Safety

All of our workplace visit days have been risk assessed by members of staff. Any external facilitators on The Farm have also completed their own risk assessments of activities. 

We’ll provide you with a Health and Safety induction and Risk Assessment. We also have public liability insurance in place.

Site Accessibility

While we do have accessible areas and facilities for wheelchair users and people with restricted mobility, much of our site is not yet suitable for those in wheelchairs.

Activity practicalities

Due to the unpredictable nature of farming (and the weather!), it can be hard to judge what we’ll be doing in advance, therefore, we won’t be able to provide an exact picture of what we’ll be doing on the day at the time of booking – but we can give you an outline based on the time of year, how our crops are doing and the weather forecast.
