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

We hope you are all well and keeping safe as we head into Lockdown Version Two.

As we are an approved Local Authority essential care and education provision we remain open to certain groups as per the government guidelines. We have been working closely with the relevant authorities who have been incredibly helpful to us at this difficult time.

Our Education and Special Needs Support provision remains partially open as per the latest guidelines. We have reduced numbers on site due to a strict bubble system; staggered arrival and departure times; separate break areas; outdoor registration; separate tools for all.

We adhere to social distancing guidelines and we all wear masks at all times. We have also increased our daily cleaning schedule.

Furthermore, we arranged a special Virus Shield fogging, which stays in place for 90 days. This took place throughout our provision on 6 November 2020, as part of a further effort to remain a Covid-secure environment while we provide the vulnerable members of our community with essential support.

We remain closed to the general public, visitors and in light of the latest lockdown, we are now closed to volunteers also. Our Farm Club, RDA and EAL are also still closed for now and we have as many staff members as possible working from home.

Thank you for your continued love and support of our Community Farm provision at this challenging time.

Courses & Qualifications
