Rose Cottage Care Farm

“We had a lovely time at Rose Cottage Care Farm. The children had fun playing with the animals and taking part in the crafts. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The farm is peaceful and has lovely grounds that are safe for young children to play freely. We will definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you”

What is Care Farming?

Care farming means the therapeutic use of farming practices. It's sometimes called social farming. Care farming sits amongst other nature-based therapies that are collectively called 'green care'. Green care means structured nature programmes for people with a defined need to benefit health, social care or education outcomes.
