Young farmers learn many skills, including all aspects of animal care – from mucking out and feeding, to proper handling skills and health checks. Everyone is expected to get involved, and we’re outside in all kinds of weather, so be prepared to work hard, get mucky, and have an amazing time!
Bookings for Autumn 2024 term will open in August 2024.
Regular, long-term attendees will also have the opportunity to take part in the annual London Harvest Festival, showing off their skills and our animals!
