WELCOME to Larkrise Community Farm
We are a hands-on, all-inclusive care farm, based near Trowbridge, Wiltshire. We provide a fun, stimulating farming experience for children and adults of all ages and abilities.
We can only currently offer placements for clients, and accredited courses due to COVID-19.
However in 'normal times' we also provide:
Riding lessons via our Larkrise/Hampsley
Riding for the Disabled Group; and carriage driving;
Farm Club every other Saturday morning,
for children of all abilities, from 5 - 16 years;
Guided educational farm visits for school groups;
Sensory farm visits for care home residents;
Farm produce for sale;
A pet holiday service for small animals and poultry.

COVID-19 UPDATE
As we still need to work within social distancing guidelines we are almost up to full capacity with our placements. We are delighted that all of our adult clients who had been shielding have now returned to the farm.
All our staff and adult clients have now had their first Covid Vaccination. We also PCR test our staff weekly, and our secondary school and college students are being tested twice a week by their establishments.
Naturally, we also continue to practise regular handwashing, wear masks when working in close proximity, and still work in socially distanced 'bubbles' to keep us all safe.
We are currently trialling 'Quiet Corner' sessions for some of our RDA clients so they renew their contact with our horses and ponies. We view this as the first step to restarting our Larkrise/Hampsley RDA Group, which is planned for the Autumn. We aren't open to the general public just yet, but hope to be able to do so after 21June; this is of course under constant review.
In the meantime, we hope all our friends are keeping safe and well; we miss you all.
Please do come to us if you have any questions or concerns and we will help you in any way we can.
With our very best wishes
