Full Description:
We are a community of interest, working together with people with learning disabilities and giving them the opportunity to gather experience for future jobs and improve skills like reading, writing, independent task management and problem solving. Further we invite schools to come and visit the farm and provide birthday activities. Here on the farm are always things that need to be done. We can always use craftsmen, be it to fix a fence, build a rabbit hutch or paint those and we would love it if you bring your own ideas in. You could either work alone and independent or together in teams or groups with Co-Farmers, if you feel comfortable around them.
