EDUCATIONAL FARM WALKING TOURS
Some examples of our most popular tours are given here, and we’re happy to combine elements from different tours to create a bespoke visit. Click the [+] to read about each tour.
1. Food and Farming tour
Available all year round, this is the most popular tour we offer, covering topics such as the different growing seasons, sustainability, crop life cycles, farm machinery, history of farming, healthy eating and the large-scale production of food.
2. Growing Fruit and Veg
The perfect tour for summer and autumn, we cover some of the general farming topics from the ‘food and farming’ tour, with particular focus on visiting the fruit and vegetables growing on the farm at the time. This gives an in-depth insight into food production, nutrition and healthy eating. Groups often add the 'Pick Your Own Fruit' activity onto this tour (see below) to add a hands-on learning experience.
3. Herbs, Plants and TREES
A tour especially suited to spring time, or for those wishing to understand the growing of plants, their life-cycle and how to care for them. Visitors will also gain sensory experience with the smell and feel of different herbs and plants. Groups often add the 'Grow Your Own Veg' activity onto this tour (see below) to add a hands-on learning experience.
4. chickens and eggs (Currently unavailable)
Children will learn about the diverse breeds we raise, from their life cycles to how we care for them.  This tour includes a visit to the coop to meet the chickens up close as well as the opportunity to feed them.  
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES 
The availability of these activities are seasonal and are designed to be done in addition to an educational walking tour. Click the [+] to read about each activity.
pick your own fruit
It's what we're famous for! Visit our fruit fields in summer and autumn and pick what's available with your own hands. Every child will get chance to pick a punnet of their own produce to take home and enjoy. A great way to learn how different crops grow and to encourage healthy eating.
(Please note this is session can usually be delivered from mid June until early September. Fruit availability will vary)
Grow Your Own Veg
Experience hands-on planting of vegetables, herbs or flowers in our plant centre in spring. With the help of an experienced gardening professional, every child will get chance to plant their own produce to take home, watch grow and enjoy the harvest. This teaches a number of lessons including the science behind the plant life-cycle, caring for living things and patience!
TRACTOR TOUR
In addition to the Educational Walking Tours, we now offer a Tractor & Trailer ride around the farm too. Stopping at various points of interest along the way, this is often the highlight of the visit for the children (and grown-ups!)
