A visit to Home Farm gives children an interactive experience of a working, organic farm and a memorable day outside in beautiful countryside. Learning outcomes can be tailored to the topic being studied in school and the age of visiting children.
During a visit to Goodwood Home Farm, children and young people are encouraged to make the connection between the food they eat and food production on the farm.
Whilst activities and itineraries depend on the time of year, a visit to the farm always involves a tour of the dairy, including seeing robotic milking, the cow sheds and the calf barn, where children have close but safe access to cows. Children will make butter from cream, taste fresh, organic (pasteurised) milk and learn about the lifecycle of dairy cows.
Home Farm visits give children the opportunity to learn and make connections between farm animals, organic farming practices and the food they eat. Children gain a deeper understanding of the natural world and the journey from field to fork whilst meeting our friendly farm animals. These immersive experiences help reinforce classroom learning, spark curiosity and inspire an interest in the countryside, sustainability and food production.

All outdoor areas at Goodwood are active working environments, and we take the greatest care when welcoming children and young people. Our experienced Education Guides are enhanced DBS checked. Visiting schools must ensure a member of staff is first aid trained and responsible for first aid provision.

Farm visits are available all year round. For schools with high numbers of children eligible for means-tested Free School Meals or Special Educational Needs, free places may be available alongside funding to assist with coach travel.
All our farm visits include a free planning visit for teachers and there is no charge for accompanying adults. We have partnered with the South of England Agricultural Society to provide grants for coach travel.

Students gain real-world understanding of food production, sustainability and organic farming. Hands-on experiences build confidence and curiosity, while older pupils benefit from meaningful employer encounters and insight into careers in agriculture and hospitality.




Arrival and departure times are flexible and will be agreed during your pre-visit planning. Farm visits usually last around 4 hours with a lunch break.
