Farms can be self-contained units or part of huge estates
Farms are as varied as the food we eat, providing opportunities for learning both in a formal context and as an opportunity for enhancing the social and emotional aspects of development.
They may focus on livestock or arable production, or a combination, and be self-contained units or part of huge estates.
There are also a number that have developed as community and city farms.
These may be working farms, or smaller organisations that form a part of a community which can be visited by schools.
