Abbey Home Farm is committed to re-establishing the connections between nature, farming, and meeting human needs.  We believe that, as farmers and land stewards, we have a responsibility to efficiently produce food for the local community while protecting our soil and creating and maintaining biodiversity. For over 10 years, we have welcomed people of all ages to come to the farm to learn more about organic agriculture. Educational visits are usually a minimum of 2 hours, can last all day or all week!

Set in the Essex countryside and on the doorstep of London, Barleylands brings the curriculum to life through a variety of workshops which will give children a better understanding of where their food comes from and its journey from the field to their plate.
