Jamie’s Farm helps children to flourish at home, in education and in the community through an intensive weeklong immersion in rural life.

Young people are involved in preparing three meals a day plus snacks, with a menu catering for a wide variety of tastes and dietary requirements, using meat from the farm and produce from the on-site garden.
