Diversification of the Year - Gold Winner
As one of the leading educational farms in North East Wales, we offer a unique range of hands on, experiential courses which reconnect learners with their food, their environment and each other on our purpose-designed, fully accessible site in Bangor-on-Dee Wrexham.
Our educational programmes (Suitable for the Foundation phase through to KS3 and beyond) provide structured full day or short visits to our family run farm, covering subjects such as sustainability, food production, farming, soil science, habitats and protecting the environment. We are more than willing to work with educational providers though to tailor make a course that meets their curriculum needs.
Our programmes include:
“Thank you so much to all of your team for making us feel so welcome and catering to our groups interests. It was an amazing experience the children will remember for a long time!!”
“Thanks again for a wonderful morning with you. It was fab and the children loved it.”
“I have seen the site develop greatly and I know that it is appropriate for a range of users (e.g. those with mobility
issues) but at the same time is still a working farm and therefore gives an insight into a workplace”
“I liked visiting your farm, it was fun. I loved doing the pond dipping and meeting the cows.”
“What a fantastic space, the children loved every second of their trip to Agri-cation and learnt so much in their time there. We now have some budding young farmers in our class!”
Come to the Farm and discover where our food actually comes from (and no, it isn’t the supermarket!). Our sessions include handling the chickens, meeting our cows and goats. See the fruit and vegetables grown at the Farm in different seasons and learn how we keep everything healthy as naturally as possible. We can also learn how to grind grain to make flour and then breads and all about eggs with some of the freshest laid eggs in town!
Find out all about the different animals and plants that inhabit the Farm, pond and gardens. Discover who or what lives where and why, and the importance of maintaining and protecting these areas for future generations. With a purpose-built education room, and plenty of wild and not so wild life on our 3 acre site, we are an ideal venue for pupils to learn all about the animals and plants that live in the countryside.
Uncover the magic of muck and the science of soil! Recycling the natural way and finding some of the minibeasts who help us out. Have a go at making soil the way nature does and plant some seeds to start your own circle of life. And get your dancing shoes on for a bit of worm dancing!!
Learn about where our food comes from and have a go at growing your own, either to take home or back to your school garden. Join in with the harvest (seasonal) and then using our pizza oven and will make freshly baked pizzas with the freshest of ingredients.
