How Farm in a Box came about

How Farm in a Box works

Our mission

“ We must not accept any child growing up in poverty or starting school with a 90% chance of leaving without the basic requirements to succeed as an adult.

.

There were 4.2 million children living in poverty in 2019.

The ‘the resources to obtain the types of diet, participate in the activities, and have the living conditions and amenities that are customary...in the societies to which they belong.’[2]

Towards equality of opportunity

“What children need is very simple. They need someone to go places with, somebody to talk with, to open their eyes, to create some new environments and plan experiences. Sadly, too many children 10

• enhance their teaching.

Farm Discovery

“

We brought two children from a behaviour provision with us today who don’t usually get to do school trips. They really enjoyed the experience nature. Being outdoors really calms them.

“

From an inner city setting, our children need these stimulating experiences in the countryside. Having the space and freedom to explore in a safe, natural environment is so important.

“

It really matched with the current learning going on in the classroom, so it was nice that the children were able to actively participate with their prior knowledge as well as be amazed at the things they learnt.

The difference we made

Teacher agreem strong

• A Farm Discovery visit was an opportunity children would not normally have. Children’s enjoyment of the day increased their learning. Reluctant learners had the opportunity to engage.

• Teachers had been given the opportunity to link their visit to an area of the curriculum they were studying.

Farm in a Box

“

The children loved the video, seeing morning. It brought the farm alive and now the children really want to visit the farm. Teacher

“

The whole day was brilliant, totally worth doing. The children loved it and we’ve received lots of positive comments from parents, who heard from the children how much fun they had doing FIAB. We (school) want to do Farm in a Box every year and get different activities each time! Teacher

“ I had never tried half the vegetables that you gave us

“

I really enjoyed the Sense of Place activity because I got to explore different calming place.

Learning

• “ We have recently discussed the desperate need to get our children out in the world to help extend their environment and support their learning.

Food Discovery

‘Does that mean we’ve got healthy soil?!’

“

Some learnt that they actually could do things like cut vegetables and try new foods.

“

That child sitting there is the boy who has the food fears! Look at him smelling and squeezing the veg – It’s unbelievable! I was really apprehensive about letting him stay in the lesson as he usually become hysterical!

A Year 5 child from St Christopher’s said, “ I really enjoy coming to school and doing the Country Trust gardening and can’t grow much. At home, I have planted some seeds in pots so we can grow things but it’s nice to come and work on the growing beds in school with my friends.

“

through Food Discovery, and some parents who have been involved too, will have been able to put their skills to good use during the

New friendships developed, children who hadn’t mixed previously more familiar with each other. Children are already talking about the fears they faced in the activities and how they overcame them.

Farm in a Box:

Food Discovery:

Residentials:

Working with others

Farmer host/teacher workshops

“

Every child should have the basics; experiencing the power of the weather, seeing a bird on the opening, the dawning of the day. Those are the basics. I think what the Country Trust does is absolutely essential.

Volunteers

Partnerships

Charities

“

A family we support have limited garden space and your garden project inspired them to upcycle a pallet to make a wall mountable plant holder! I love it! It has meant that mum who uses a wheelchair has been able to do the project with her 2 sons who are carers.
