Welcome to FarmLink
We provide fun and learning through an informative “hands-on” approach to education in a countryside setting. We provide the opportunities for almost 20,000 children annually to enhance the learning embodied in the core subjects and in a number of the foundation subjects of the National Curriculum at all four Key Stages.
We do this through a number of carefully planned and structured themes and topics delivered in the environment at and around working farms.
These programmes are led by experienced farmers, teachers and countrymen and women. They are supported by a former highly experienced teacher who has a love of the countryside.
FarmLink is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status dedicated to educating school children about farming, food production, healthier eating and the environment. This is accomplished by FarmLink visiting schools through the winter terms and then children visiting farms through the spring, summer and autumn terms studying a subject of the teachers choice all linked to the National Curriculum.
In both school and on farm the lessons are innovative and fun and inspire the children to want to learn. The results are always positive and the children always look forward to a visit to school by FarmLink or by them to the farm.
