The Laverstoke Education Centre is a charity started in 2003 by Clare Scheckter to provide free school visits to the farm, enabling primary school children to understand where their food really comes from. To date, over 10,000 pupils, students and adult learners have benefited from farm visits.
Thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers, farm visits are still offered at no charge.
Increasingly secondary school and college students come to the farm to cover a wide variety of curriculum topics to include geography, sciences, 'maths in wellies', food technology and enterprise.
Laverstoke Park Education Centre is a registered charity (charity number:10981080) whose aim is to promote bio-diverse farming and healthy, sustainable nutrition, together with farming and land-based careers.
