Founded in 1976 by children’s author Michael Morpurgo and his wife Clare, our three farms welcome 3000 children and young people from underserved communities each year, helping them to step outside of their daily lives, learn new skills, grow in confidence and be braver, stronger and more resilient.

Story

Farms for City Children exists to remove the barriers that prevent children and young people having meaningful access to the natural world. By being a farmer for a week, children experience the physical and mental health benefits of being in the countryside and they grow in courage, compassion and curiosity. Your support can enable more 8–18 year olds from underserved areas of the UK to visit our three farms in Devon, Gloucester or Pembrokeshire, strengthening their connections to food, farming and nature.
