Block Bookings

Bookable All Year

We are able to offer tailored land-based courses for primary or secondary school children who visit us for short courses of 5+ weeks. Regular visitors receive a 20% discount on bookings. 

Sessions could include:

  • Growing vegetables on the farm – learning about seasonal food production through sowing, planting, crop-care, harvesting, looking after the soil, composting, rainwater harvesting, encouraging wildlife and creating ecosystems.
  • Cookery in our field kitchen – learning safe knife skills, food hygiene, the importance of eating locally, seasonally and cooking from scratch. Groups can prepare together a healthy meal, soup or snack.
  • Conservation activities – learning about biodiversity and the environment that supports farming and food production.
  • Sustainability sessions looking at recycling, food waste, seasonality, local food, climate change and the positive changes we can make for a healthy planet.
  • Once our new Community Cook Studio is up and running in Jan 2027 we can also offer indoor cook sessions. 

Sessions can be tailored to meet curriculum requirements.
