Down To Earth Community Farm is set in the heart of Southampton. It aims to offer people the ability to interact with animals and the natural environment in a farm like setting. We are based on a 5 acre site made up of a farm, woodland area, growing area, pond, and a fully equipped building suitable for a range of indoor activities. We offer activities for vulnerable adults and other groups on set days. We organise fund raising and open days to the general public, and have facilities available to hire. Please see the appropriate pages for details.
Save the Dates:
Autumn Open Day: Saturday 6th october
New arrival at the farm
We are please to introduce Myrtle the Blue Tongue Skink. She looks a bit like a snake with legs. As described in the name this lizard has a vivid blue tongue, this is a defence mechanism to fool predators into thinking she is poisonous, and also it gives them a bit of a surprise when a big blue tongue pops out. She is still settling in and getting used to her new surroundings, and is becoming braver by the day, we think she will become a firm favourite at the farm.
We are open Saturdays
The Farm is open to the general public every Saturday. Come and meet Penny Pig, Velvet the cow, and all the other animals, feed the chickens, explore the gardens, bring a picnic and spend some time in our woodland area ,or even join in with any arts and crafts activities available.
Opening times are 10am-2pm.
Admission prices are £2.00 for adults and £1.00 for children. Under 2s Free
We hope to see you soon!
Friends of Down to Earth
Who are we?
The Association of Friends of Down to Earth was
set up in October 2002 to support the work of Down to Earth Community Farm. It
acts as a focal point for our volunteers and supporters who are essential to the
running of our community farm and garden. There are three part time staff
employed by the Oasis academy and a group of volunteers who work to look after
the animals and gardens and to run the activities provided. Friends of Down To
Earth organize fund raising events and help to arrange funding for the centre
which is always desperately needed. We also help with open days
and on a Saturday when we open to the public.
If you would like to get involved with the work of the group or support
any of the projects please contact Carley on o23 80 522706
