At Diamond Families, we believe in the power of experiential learning and the benefits of connecting with nature. Visits to Our therapeutic farm provide students with unique opportunities to engage with the natural world, promoting their physical, emotional, and social well-being.

What is a Therapeutic Farm?

A therapeutic farm is a special environment where pupils can interact with animals, participate in farm activities, and learn about sustainable practices. These visits are designed to be educational, relaxing, and enjoyable, helping students develop new skills and a deeper appreciation for the environment.
