The Farm Experience
Here at Quarries Farm we provide a place in nature for you.
We are a venue and community resource, bringing people together, to learn and to use nature to promote your own health and wellbeing.
All plots are south facing and benefit from the shelter of our 200 year old woodland on the north side. We have over 100 individuals and families coming to the farm as part of our growing community ‘Quarries Farm Friends’.
Our woodland is available as a venue for groups, professionals and individuals wishing to run activities in an outdoor setting. Recent activities are Forest School, therapy groups and mindfulness ‘one to one’ sessions.
Social Farming gives people with Day Care needs the chance to be with others in a natural outdoor space. You learn new skills, while having fun and helping with the community farm.
Our farm is a rich habitat for the well-being of humans and wild-life. We have ponds, scrub borders, woodland and grassland. Our walkways and hides are designed so you can observe nature peacefully.
