Teen Farmers Club Ages 13-16.

If you're passionate about animals, farming, and working outdoors, our Teen Farmers Club is the perfect opportunity to gain hands-on experience on a real working farm.

Designed for teenagers who are ready to take on more responsibility, this club provides a practical insight into day-to-day farm life while developing confidence, teamwork, and valuable life skills. Whether you're considering a future career in agriculture, animal care, or simply enjoy being outdoors, you'll be involved in genuine farm tasks that make a real difference.

Every session is varied and follows the changing seasons, so there's always something new to learn.

What you'll do

Activities may include:

Feeding and caring for a wide range of livestock

Animal handling and welfare

Mucking out and maintaining animal housing

Sheep, goat and alpaca husbandry

Assisting with lambing and kidding (seasonal)

Fence repairs and basic farm maintenance

Growing fruit and vegetables

Working as part of a team on real farm projects

As members gain experience and confidence, they'll have the opportunity to take on more responsibility and develop practical skills that can support future education or employment.

Who is it suitable for?

Teen Farmers Club is suitable for young people aged 13–16 years who enjoy being outdoors, aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, and are keen to get involved in real farm life. No previous farming experience is necessary—just enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and a positive attitude.

Our Teen Farmers take part in a wide range of practical activities, from feeding livestock and mucking out to maintenance projects, conservation work, and seasonal farm jobs. While there will certainly be opportunities to spend time with our friendly animals, this is a working farm, and the focus is on learning practical skills and helping with the day-to-day running of the farm.

If you're looking for a session that's all about cuddling animals, this probably isn't the right group for you. However, if you're excited to roll up your sleeves, work as part of a team, and experience real farm life, you'll fit right in.

What should participants wear?

Farm work can be muddy and takes place in all weather conditions, so we recommend:

• Old clothes suitable for outdoor work
• Sturdy boots or wellies
• Waterproof coat
• Warm layers during colder months
• A refillable water bottle

 

Why join?

• Build confidence and independence

• Learn practical farming and animal care skills

• Develop teamwork and communication

• Improve problem-solving abilities

• Gain experience for future college courses or careers
