We believe it is fundamentally important children understand about the food they eat and the effect farming has on their lives. We want their experience at Old MacDonald's Farm to be fun and one that they will never forget.
Old MacDonald's open farm offers fantastic teaching facilities for educational visits. Because we are an animal petting farm the children get a hands-on learning experience, there is plenty to see, touch and do! We are conveniently situated for schools, not only in and around Essex, East London and the South East but across the East of England.
We think it is essential to growing and learning that children understand about farming. At Old MacDonald's Farm we can help familiarise the children with the animals, learning their names, the food they eat and the noises they make. Children should know where their food comes from and understand nutrition.
