Welcome to learning farm...

            a chat about barley

At Manor Farm we have been hosting farm visits for over 13 years with visitors from local school children to politicians, Women’s Institute groups and Archaeology groups to farmer co-operatives. Over the years Manor Farm has been used as a showcase for farm diversification with Manor Farm Feeds, The Rural Training Centre and Rural Energy.  The Rural Training Centre which operated for 7 years has trained a large number of farmers in IT, farm software and environmental stewardship HLS and ELS schemes.  In addition many local residents benefited from training in IT, photography, flower arranging, bird watching, art and painting and many other subjects.

The learning farm builds on our experience in demonstration and training but incorporates a new dimension in the form of a field studies centre.  There are now amazing opportunities for children, students and adult visitors to learn about our natural environment through hands on experience.  Subjects we cover include arable farming, ecology, soils & water, archaeology & history, renewable energy, forestry, birds and so much more.
