Our Farm

Most existing farms operate as visitor attractions with noise, crowds, and stimulation designed for entertainment – inappropriate and often distressing for SEND populations. This venture addresses that gap by intentionally designing spaces for sensory-appropriate therapeutic use.

✅ Quiet, low-stimulation spaces

✅ Small group sizes

✅ Gentle, well-socialised animals for interaction and fostering

✅ Predictable, calm environments

✅ Clear signposting and management of expectations

A social enterprise

This Community Interest Company (CIC) will operate a purpose-designed SEND therapeutic environment in South East England (Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire), providing a sensory-appropriate smallholding where Local Authority (LA) commissioners and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) professionals can deliver therapeutic sessions incorporating farm activities and animal interactions.
