Have you thought about hosting Educational Visits on your Farm?

Hosting visits can be rewarding, fun and you can get paid for your time!

At LEAF Education our pioneering research with young people, highlighted that they want to learn more about where their food comes from and how farmers are caring for the environment. The number one way that they feel this can be best achieved is through experiential on-farm learning.

Visiting a farm gives our future generations a balanced and informed insight into food production, farming and the environment. It enables them to become more conscious consumers and highlights the wonderful career opportunities that the agricultural sector has to offer.

Welcoming a school group onto your farm means you can have direct impact, talking, educating and inspiring our future leaders, decision makes and consumers of tomorrow.
