This is Oak Tree Farm Rural Project

 Oak Tree Farm provides training and supported occupation for adults with learning disabilities, in a rural environment.

 The project provides opportunity, support and encouragement for people, our Team Members, to learn new skills and to improve their existing ones, whilst giving purposeful occupation and enabling them to have an active role in society.

 Oak Tree Farm is situated on a 15 acre smallholding near the village of Hilderstone and is part of the Harrowby Estate of Sandon.

 Primarily a horticultural unit growing plants, cut flowers and vegetables, the farm also has beef cattle, goats, poultry and small animals. There are craft and work rooms along with associated farm buildings, greenhouses and polytunnels. There is a fully equipped, purpose built pottery and workshop. Some Team Members work off site with Acorn Garden Services.

In 2011 we proudly opened our new Oak Leaf Tea Room, offering catering and retail experience to Team Members.

 People attend the farm on a part time basis, to fit in with their other commitments; college courses, day service attendance, etc.
