Social Farming Day Placements

Who is it for?

What is this service?

Lauriston Farm offers adults with a learning disability the opportunity to co-work alongside their farm team in a safe, supportive and tranquil environment.

They currently offer general farm days which includes animal care, horticulture, cookery, crafts, sales and conservation.

Each day lasts 10am-4pm and is hosted by two staff members with up to seven co-workers. It starts with a short introduction to the day's workshop, where it they check that everyone has appropriate footwear, clothing and tools for the tasks ahead. There are regular tea and lunch breaks. After lunch there is a walk to see another part of the farm. And the session ends with a review of the day.

Each week the workshops change with the seasons creating new experiences and new learning.

The Farm is open every week except for two weeks at Christmas, one week at Easter and one week in August.

The cost of each day is £90.
