Develop Caring And Responsibility Skills

On-Site Mini Farm Hire for Schools And Nurseries

Would you like to give your children the experience and fun of keeping chickens, lambs or even piglets?

Our NEW fully insured extended hire offer combines the best of a mobile and permanent school farm by allowing you to bring in farm animals to support your classroom projects and topics, keep them on your site for as long as required and then return them to their permanent home here at Ark Farm once your topic is finished.

We will provide you with friendly and healthy animals, familiar with human contact. A full training session will be given to the main contacts and those who will have responsiblity for the animals whilst they are with you. Care sheets, full instructions and access to a 24hr helpline are all available to make your experience as simple and easy as it can be whilst not detracting from the opportunity to really learn how to take care of animals over a period of time.

From our existing range of friendly & familiarised stock we are able to offer a variety of animals including: Chickens; Ducks; Guinea Pigs; Piglets/Weaners or Lambs (all under 6 months of age)

Our short term hire periods are completely flexible and can range from a single week to a whole term.
