Sowing Seeds of Hope: Farm-Based Youth Development.

Youth Work in Cornwall

Farm

Working in partnership with Fowey River Academy, our farm is more than just a place to grow food. It’s a vibrant learning environment where young people, particularly those facing challenges, can thrive. We are developing hands-on experiences in sustainable farming, animal care, and environmental stewardship, fostering essential life skills, personal development, and a deep connection to nature. We empower young people to overcome barriers, build self-esteem, and discover their full potential. Our farm serves as a bridge between the school, the church, and the wider community, creating a space where everyone feels welcome, valued, and inspired to contribute to a more sustainable and compassionate world.
