Thrift Farm is a 52 acre farm owned by Buckinghamshire County Council, Adult Social Care and is a Rural Training Centre/working environment for Adults with Learning Difficulties. Approximately thirty trainees attend the farm each day. Places are also provided for students from Special schools and other local establishments. The trainees work on the farm with the help and guidance of a small, experienced staff team.
The Farm Park covers three and a half acres. We have a good selection of farm animals - cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys. We have a hatchery with various small animals - chicks, ducklings and guinea pigs. There is a small charge to the Animal Park where there is also a play and picnic area. We have a laying flock of free-range hens, ducks and geese producing eggs for sale.
We have a Garden Centre producing a variety of shrubs, perennial and bedding plants, herbs and hanging baskets. A small shop sells planters, wind chimes, seeds and other horticultural sundries. The Garden Contract team undertakes all sorts of gardening jobs, mowing, turfing and site clearance. Please give us a call, we are happy to give free estimates.
Our Craft Shop/Workshop produces a range of woodwork, pots, cards, jewellery and many other gift items using as many recycled materials as possible. The Tea Room, situated in the farmhouse, provides a lovely setting for tea, coffee, cakes and light lunches all very reasonably priced and excellent quality. Thrift Farm is a lovely, friendly place to visit. You won't get something for nothing - but what you will get is a great day out and value for money.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU |
