Visit My Farm is a unique information hub for farmers interested in hosting educational visits. Follow the step by step guide for all the information you need to get started.

Ever wondered about opening your farm gates to schools?

Well there are many reasons why; perhaps you are looking to diversify your operation; or looking to create an additional income stream or maybe it is just something you are passionate about.  For whatever reason, the children will benefit as outdoor learning improves a child’s education.   It helps to influence their lives and the life choices they make later in life.  It also provides first hand experience to children to show how their food is produced and the work farmers do to protect the countryside whilst allowing children to get close to nature.

Here are what some farmers say about school visits…


For me personally there is enormous payback hosting visits regardless of the money.

I love my farm and I want to tell children all about it so they love it too.

I care about the industry.

My original core value was and remains education. Therefore I persevere and hope the school children will bring their families back in the school holidays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still interested…then have you thought about what type of visit you would like to offer?  Perhaps a general farm tour, a themed or specialised visit or visits that focus on children with special needs or disaffected students then VISIT MY FARM can help. 

Follow the step by step guide that will take you through the process including relevant links to all the information you need from health and safety guidelines, available funding, posters, resources, letters and press release templates.
