Come and see our therapeutic farm here in Longham, Ferndown. With the experienced guidance and support from our Staff and the generosity of our Volunteers we offer a day service to members of the public living with mental health issues, physical disabilities, addiction, Alzheimer & dementia diagnosis, brain injury, vision & hearing impairment, autism, children excluded from school, Parkinson’s and learning difficulties to engage in an array of interesting activities on the farm.
We work alongside local businesses, churches, social services, local authorities, schools, universities, organisations and charities. We are open to the public to purchase fresh seasonal vegetables, our own honey, eggs & kindling, from our on site Farm Shop.
This Year’s Spring Fayre Raised over £10,000 to Support Us
A huge thanks to everyone who attended our big fundraising event, our Spring Fayre on Saturday 17th May. It was lovely to see so many people attending the Farm and the sun shone on each and every one of us. We loved seeing families enjoying a day in the sunshine playing games such as Crockery Smash, Coconut Shy as well as pushing home-made “prams” into a wall of cardboard boxes – proper traditional old games. The Chicken Poo bingo was a huge success and new this year was Ferret Racing !! Our BBQ , Vegan food stall and the Donut/candy floss stalls were kept busy serving up tasty delights for everyone. Quayside Cloggies entertained us throughout with their dancing and music, followed by more live music from RJ Soulcoaster, to entertain everyone while enjoying the sunshine.
Thank you to all our loyal stall holders as well as Vicky at Paws on Board for hosting the dog show again this year.
We managed to raise in excess of £10,000, which will be going towards vital repairs to our boundary fences to keep our animals safe.
Again we wish to thank everyone, including our amazing Volunteers, for supporting us and making this day an amazing event!
