Farm Education Workshops - Spring/Summer 2027
Bring learning to life at Valentin's Farm, where our programme of educational farm experiences introduces pupils to farming, animal care and food production. We offer a range of workshops for pupils across all Primary stages, with activities designed to engage learners and develop their understanding of life on the farm. Our school visit programme follows the changing seasons, giving pupils the opportunity to explore the farm throughout the year and discover the animals, activities and natural changes that make each season unique. From meeting our cows, sheep, geese, ducks, turkeys, hens and pigs to learning about animal welfare, new life and where our food comes from, pupils can develop a closer connection with farming and the origins of the food we eat.
Farm to Fork - All primary stages - 10am - 2pm
Where does our food come from? In this engaging farm experience, pupils will explore the journey from farm to table, discovering how farm animals contribute to the food we eat. During a guided tour, pupils will meet the animals at the MacRobert Farming and Rural Skills Centre and learn about their different characteristics, needs and the products they provide. Along the way, they'll discover fascinating facts about farm life, animal care and food production. Pupils will also have the opportunity to get up close to some of our farm residents, helping them make a real connection between the animals they meet and the food we enjoy every day.
An enjoyable introduction to farming, animal welfare and where our food comes from.
Spring to Life - All Primary Stages - 10am - 2pm
Spring is a season of new beginnings on the farm. In this seasonal workshop, pupils will explore the arrival of new life, discover how farm animals are cared for and learn about the changes taking place across the farm and garden. During a guided farm tour, pupils will meet our animals and learn about their young, exploring how different species give birth, care for their offspring and grow. Subject to availability, pupils will also have the opportunity to meet and gently handle some of our youngest farm residents. The experience continues in our education garden, where pupils will discover how the changing seasons influence what we grow and eat. They will explore the importance of seasonal growing and develop an understanding of the connection between nature, food production and the time of year.
An engaging introduction to new life, animal welfare, seasonal change and growing food
