MOBILE FARM
EDUCATIONAL AND THERAPY VISITS

South Brockwells Mobile Farm brings the sights, sounds and experiences of the farmyard to your school, nursery, residential home, county show or corporate event - click here for our Mobile Farm brochure.

​

Our Mobile Farm provides a hands-on educational and tactile experience for children and adults of all ages and offers the opportunity to meet farm animals and real farmers, sometimes for the first time. The primary aim of our visits is to teach people about farm animals, how we care for them and where our food comes from. It is also a valuable tool in helping us connect the wider community with farming practices and will help support British farming.

​

Our educational visits are very popular with primary schools and in particular, Early Years and Key Stage 1 as they fit perfectly within the Curriculum.

​

For our Therapy visits we concentrate on sensory experiences, encouraging conversations, and increasing mobility from activities such as brushing, feeding and petting.  Subject to sufficient access, we are able to take our animals into your Residential home if outdoor space is not available.  

​

Our visits are tailored to your needs and one of our experienced staff members will discuss the aims and outcomes of your visit prior to your booking. Our most popular visits include:

​

• Time for the visitors to wander among the pens, chat with us and meet our animals;

• Time to groom, feed and interact with our animals;

• Answering questions regarding breeds and their differences;

• What does each animal eat and why nutrition is important;

• Where does each animal live and where do they sleep;

• How we care for our farm animals;

• Why do farmers rear lambs and goats? 

• How the weather and seasons affect farming;

• The display of equipment such as ear tags and sheep drench guns and an explanation of why they are used.
