Adult day opportunities
Growing Together Care Farm provides a meaningful adult day provision on its expansive 22-acre mixed farm. This program offers adults the opportunity to engage in purposeful daily activities, encouraging a sense of community and achievement. Participants are know as 'Co Farmers' and are integral members of the farm's community, contributing to the production of high-quality, sustainable food.
Co Farmers involved in the program can partake in various tasks such as planting, harvesting, tending to animals, and maintaining the farm's infrastructure. These activities not only provide a structured routine but also enhance physical fitness and mental well-being.
By working together in a supportive setting, Co Farmers build strong social connections and develop new skills. The sense of accomplishment derived from contributing to the farm's productivity build confidence and a sense of purpose. Additionally, the farm's commitment to ecological principles educates participants about sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship.
Growing Together is a vibrant, inclusive community where individuals can thrive. The program's holistic approach ensures that each participant feels valued and connected, encouraging personal growth while contributing to the farm's mission of producing good, healthy food for the local community.

Opportunities for young people
We offer places for children and young people who would benefit from accessing an outdoor provision either during term time or during the holidays.
Children are supported in small groups to participate in activities that benefit their social and emotional wellbeing and engage positively with a peer group. We provides a therapeutic environment where children facing various challenges can thrive. Through hands-on farming activities, children learn about nature, responsibility, and teamwork.
The farm's supportive setting helps them develop confidence, social skills, and resilience. Integrating ecological principles, the program emphasises sustainable living and environmental stewardship. This environment nurtures children’s emotional and mental well-being, offering a safe space where they can grow, learn, and overcome personal obstacles in a natural and engaging environment.
Group visits
Growing Together Care Farm offers both one-off and regular group visits, providing an immersive experience in farm-related activities. Participants learn about ecological food production through hands-on involvement in planting, harvesting, and animal care.
These visits are designed to educate groups on sustainable farming practices and the importance of environmental stewardship. By engaging directly with the farm's diverse ecosystem, visitors gain practical knowledge and a deeper appreciation for how food is produced.
This interactive approach not only promotes sustainable living but also fosters a connection to nature and the principles of ecological agriculture.
