Our top field hosts Farfield Farm: a locally unique horticultural facility that the children can enjoy and learn from throughout the year comprising of two large polytunnels, an extensive orchard, outdoor planting areas, an accessible garden, a greenhouse, classroom, pigs area, a flock of chickens and bee hives. Our pigs are kept as pets and the chickens roam the top field and dens area at lunchtime.
Younger children do seasonal visits whereas the juniors spend an afternoon on the farm once every half term. Produce from the farm is used in cooking lessons or ‘sold’ on after-school stalls. Eggs are available from the Junior reception area. A large rota of families come to the farm at the weekends to feed the pigs and chickens and to collect eggs. A few families have plots of land on the farm as allotments.
