Welcome to Little Haven Farm, a place where the gentle rhythms of nature and hands-on farming come together to promote wellbeing and growth. Here, we support individuals with Special Educational Needs (SEN) by providing a nurturing environment where they can connect with the land, develop skills, and experience the therapeutic benefits of farm life.

Grow and Thrive: A Complete Farm Experience for SEN Learners

We're thrilled to announce an exciting new project designed for SEN & mainstream individuals alike, who wish to experience life on a small farm ‘hands-on’! We will be covering everything from feeding and caring for animals to managing the health of both animals and crops, providing our visitors with an understanding of everything that is involved in the operation of a family smallholding.  There will be opportunities to learn practical skills such as supervised operation of farm machinery, maintenance of equipment and farm buildings, performing essential outdoor tasks such as trimming hedges, clearing drains, and mending fences etc., all within a safe, supportive and nurturing environment. The experience of participating in the day to day running of a working farm will provide opportunities to engage in a range of work-related activities which will not only help with gaining in confidence and independence, but will also provide valuable, transferable skills which can help with transitioning into the world of work.

Providing you with a safe space to explore all aspects of farming.

Our cosy wooden hut serves as a warm, supportive base where you can prepare for each hands-on farming experience.  This welcoming space offers areas for gathering, cleaning up, and sharing ideas after being out in the field.  In good weather most activities will take place outdoors, but the hut is a pleasant space to regroup, reflect, and connect, as well as to eat your lunch and or have a tea break with your co-workers!

“Working on the farm has been amazing for me. I love being around the animals and helping them, especially the calves. I even helped a calf be born, and it made me feel really proud and important. Being here teaches me new things every day, and the animals make me feel calm. I can’t take buses or trains by myself, but here, I know what to do, and I feel like I belong”
