Lawrence Powell : “By teaching farm skills, we empower SEN learners to discover strengths they never knew they had.”

A modern approach

Our approach focuses on providing young people with bespoke, person-centred care that tailors agricultural experiences to their unique learning needs. No day is the same on the farm, but for those that thrive on routine, we would be aiming as much as possible to structure each day with predictable activities, reinforcing mental wellbeing and stability through a supportive, caring, and nurturing environment. Engaging in farming and animal care offers a unique therapeutic connection to nature, creating meaningful, hands-on experiences that benefit individuals with ADHD, autism, and other neuro-divergent profiles. Caring for animals fosters responsibility and empathy while enhancing social skills in a calm, non-judgmental setting. The rhythm of farm life, attuned to seasonal changes, provides structure that encourages mindfulness and resilience. This natural routine helps manage stress, improve focus, and promote a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. Through these activities, individuals gain grounding and stability, enriching their mental health and overall wellbeing.
