Learn in a fun outdoor environment
PRE-VISITS AVAILABLE Contact us to arrange your pre visit to discuss your Pre School / Nursey visit.
Enrichment sessions on the farm are our most popular sessions with local schools and preschools. Some book for a term at a time and others for a one-off session. They are great for young children to explore and learn outdoors.
Children will get to meet and hand feed many of our animals, pet some of them and spend time outdoors learning about nature and where fruit and vegetables come from.
These sessions can be for 2 hours or more and for up to 15 children at a time. Contact us to arrange a pre visit to meet with us and discuss your student’s needs
We have a mixture of animals; on our farm most are pets and rescue animals, but we do have some commercial ewes for breeding. Their lambs are mainly sold to other small holders as breeding stock / pets.
We have over 100 animals including various breeds of sheep, pigs, Boer goats, pygmy goats, rescue hens, various other breeds of chickens, alpacas, cow and numerous horses and ponies on the farm.
Most of our animals are used to human interaction and love being hand fed and fussed.
We have an area of the farm which is dedicated to horticulture with a fruit & salad polytunnel, educational polytunnel for students to sow and grow their own produce, a green house, herb garden, vegetable patches and a fruit patch.
We are able to offer educational visits on growing your own food, where the children get to join in sowing and harvesting.
Around the farm we have hedgerows and British native trees, and in 2024 we have already started to work alongside students to plant more trees, including a small apple orchard and plan to create two new garden areas, to include a sensory garden and a wildlife garden in 2025.
Frampton Farm is a haven for wildlife including foxes, rabbits, badgers and birds. Although many trees have fallen over the years the family are working hard to plant thousands more UK native trees to not only encourage more wildlife but also to help the environment.
We will happily tailor your visit to match your current curriculum learning. Many of our Spring / Summer 2024 visitors did a full day session, visiting and learning about animals in the morning and sowing seeds and learning about vegetables in the afternoon. If you are planning to come around lambing time, we recommend you book up in advance as this is a very popular time for school visits.
Karen & Hamilton (Ham) are our fun informative educational hosts and they love to answer the children and teachers’ questions. They look forward to welcoming you all to Frampton Farm very soon.
