"Support wildlife-friendly farming - look for the LEAF Marque "

LEAF Demonstration Farms

You can learn more about LEAF and Integrated Farm Management (IFM) by visiting any of a nationwide network of LEAF farms.
 
LEAF Demonstration Farms
These farms are all volunteers, carrying out IFM and showing other farmers how to adopt it. They provide living and working examples of how Integrated Farm Management can produce affordable food in harmony with the environment. They also provide a regional insight into the best local approach to IFM.
 
LEAF Innovation Centres
These centres research or pioneer new approaches in sustainable land management. By their very nature they are not typical working farms, but push forward the boundaries of Integrated Farm Management (IFM) through research and practical experimentation.
        
How to arrange a visit
Every farm is unique with different things to see, from animals and crops to wildlife and fresh produce. Activities during the visit may include a farm walk, nature trail, tractor & trailer ride, pond dipping or activities for children. Get a group together - Every farm is a real working farm which means hosting visits takes time out of the farmers busy day. Therefore visits can only be arranged for groups. The costs of a visit - Generally there is no charge for visits, although we would encourage you or your group to become a member of LEAF and support our work. What you will need to wear - Most farm visits take place on foot or on a trailer.  You will need waterproofs and strong footwear. The length of a visit - Visits take around 2 hours, depending on the size of the group and can be arranged at most times of the year.
