The Centre enables adults and children with disabilities or who are disadvantaged in society to work on the land doing horticultural activities and working with farm related animals. Over the last twelve months, the company has benefited the local community by organising days where children with disabilities or special educational needs have undertaken educational activies to help them to re engage back into school. We have also organised volunteer days and open days, which have allowed all aspects of the community to come and help us build paddocks, vegetable beds, paths and much more.
