About
In 2021 Tablehurst Young Farmers incorporated as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company now called Raising Young Farmers. We offer nourishing, wholesome and fun weekly clubs for children aged 0 - 16. We are a team of experienced people with a passion for taking children outdoors, to experience nature, learn more about animals and get muddy at Tablehurst Farm. We deliver a farm based curriculum each week and care for the farm animals, grow vegetables, harvest, weed, stack wood, build structures, help with seasonal events and much more! We can also support schools with farm experiences and if you have a budding young farmer who'd love a birthday party on the farm we can cater for that too.
​
Our Mission is to connect children with regenerative farming practices to ensure that future generations are able to sustain themselves and heal our planet.
​
Becoming a CIC will enable us to reach out to wider communities and hopefully take our message further. We’re passionate about regenerative farming, taking care of our soil and working respectfully with our animals. With soil experts predicting only 40 harvests left, it feels more important than ever to connect children with the land and how farming can be different.

Our Team
Rhiannan
I'm Rhiannan (on the right) and I've been working with Young Farmers since September 2020. When I'm not at Tablehurst, I volunteer at a smallholding near Lewes where I am learning about looking after sheep, chickens and horses. I live on the coast in West Sussex, where I have an allotment which I love. I am passionate about learning and the natural world.
Karen
Hello I'm Karen! My life so far has been supporting vulnerable adults and working with children of all ages in the UK and abroad. I love being outside on the farm working with the Farm Kids. I attend Plumpton College to get to know farm stuff and look towards having a small holding in the future. I joined Tablehurst Farm Kids in 2019 where I am enthused and extremely excited about working alongside the kids, sharing and growing all aspects of farming life!
Amy
Hello, I’m Amy! I have always worked with children and now home educate my own family. I love being able to watch children learn and grow, it’s extremely rewarding! I have experience running Forest Schools and have volunteered via wwoof farming trying to learn and be involved in sustainable and mindful farming practices. Working with animals and being outside learning about bio dynamic organic farming is just a dream come true for me and I plan to have my own small holding in the future.
