to develop long term relationships with schools allowing the
children to gain a real sense of connection with the farm. Alphington
Primary School and St Davids Primary have built farm visits into their
curriculum develpment across the whole school. University of PlymouthOrganicARTS established a relationship with lecturers at Plymouth University.

for the pottery that groups model. Firing took place over a 24 hour
period using wood from the farm.
