Farm Hand

Calling animal lovers looking for some hands-on experience in a farm environment

We are very proud of our wonderful farm at Ufton. Children gain confidence and the freedom to flourish when they visit and learn all about the various animals including runner ducks, goats and pigs. Holding chickens, collecting eggs and stroking goats gives them a truly magical experience and is a real highlight of their visit to Ufton. For some, it is their first immersive experience on a farm and creates lifelong passion. For others it is a vital part of learning and nurturing therapeutic behaviours which can be an invaluable tool for them to develop.
