A welcome from our founders
Clare and Michael Morpurgo
Since we started the charity in 1976 more than 100,000 children have been to one of our farms – Nethercott House in Devon, Lower Treginnis in Pembrokeshire and Wick Court in Gloucestershire. But it should be millions. It’s a visit that builds children’s self-confidence and self-worth as they work as a team on the farm. A visit full of fun too, and for many, the most memorable time of their young lives.
For today’s children who are ever more disconnected from the countryside, nature and the source of the food they eat, spending time on the farms brings great joy, new discoveries and the opportunity to reconnect with friends and teachers.
We hope to see you down on the farm very soon!
