We are usually outside most of the day. We do have an indoor area, a workshop and access to hot drinks.

The farm attendee will need to bring the following:

• Clothing appropriate for the weather to work in.

• Wellies (Walking boots are also acceptable during the summer months).

• Gloves to work in (e.g. gardening or DIY type)

• Packed lunch and any drinks they like.

We will provide all other specialist PPE if required as well as tea, herbal teas, bovril, hot chocolate, coffee, and water. 

4. Profile

We will discuss with regular farm attendees and the people accompanying them what they enjoy doing, their strengths, skills and preferences. We will create an individual profile. This can include goals they would like to work towards. We will regularly review these to ensure each farm attendee’s experience is catered to their needs and enjoyment.
