Homegrown Care Farm

We opened our Care Farm setting in Spratton in Spring 2019. We operate a waiting list, if you have a wish to place yourself or another within our setting, please get in touch at your earliest opportunity.

We are an inclusive social care business where every service user/client is valued and we work very hard to help develop their skills, knowledge and positive attitudes as well as preparing them for their futures’. We recognise that they are all individuals with different strengths and weaknesses and therefore offer flexible social care programmes with a wide range of positive experiences to meet their needs.  Our aim is to allow vulnerable people the ability to learn new skills and gain experiences in animal care, horticulture, healthy living, independence and much more.

We currently use our animals for therapy and to help our service user/clients prepare for employment and support individual needs. Tasks vary from day to day and season to season but over the course of time our they will experience a wide range of activities including collecting eggs and raising chicks into chickens, helping to clean, look after and groom a variety of animals, experience shearing sheep, horticulture, woodwork and much more. 

We wish to provide effective solutions to health and social problems and our work aims to re- engage people with learning when they are at risk of exclusion, non-attendance or poor mental health and to enhance the well-being when they are isolated or have long term illness. We cater for pupils whose Statement/ Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) identifies severe and profound learning difficulties including autism, adhd & semh.
