Shallowford Farm

Shallowford Farm is a working hill farm and educational charity in Dartmoor National Park, run by the Shallowford Trust. It offers young people—particularly from urban areas—hands-on experiences of farming, food production and rural life.

Through school visits, residential stays and outreach programmes, the charity helps children understand where food comes from, learn about sustainability and animal welfare, and build confidence through outdoor learning.

With support from the Worshipful Company of Butchers, Shallowford Farm will expand its programmes, enabling more young people to engage with curriculum-based learning and initiatives such as “Farm to City,” bringing farming experiences into urban communities.
