Care farming is the therapeutic use of farming practices and agricultural tasks to provide health, social, and educational care services. Also known as social farming, it combines nature-based settings with structured, meaningful work to support people with defined needs.
Rural Care
Rural Care is a day provision that provides care farming opportunities for people with learning disabilities in a supportive and caring environment.
We are based over two sites in Hertfordshire – Church Farm, a 175 acre farm in Ardeley and Aldenham Country Park, a 100 acre country park surrounding a 60 acre lake.
We offer two different opportunities: our Co-Farmer programme for adults and our Schools and Colleges programme for students from both mainstream and SEND schools.
Volunteers are welcome and can help out with Rural Care or can work on their own so they can enjoy the tranquillity of the farm.
