Chef on the Farm
The Adopt a School programme, transported to the English countryside.
Chef on the Farm is our offer for schools looking to boost their food curriculum and spark joy amongst their students for eating well. Available to primary and secondary schools as a standalone experience, or an add-on to the core Adopt a School programme.
A farm adventure
Take a guided tour of a working farm and get up close with different animals to learn about the origins of our food.
Kitchen confidence
Roll up your sleeves for a hands-on practical cooking session with an Adopt a School Chef.
A shared social experience
Sit down with your group to enjoy the delicious 2-course lunch you’ve prepared together!
How does Chef on the Farm work?
On the day of your school’s visit, your participants will split into two groups and take turns to tour the farm and cook in the kitchen. At lunchtime, the whole group will sit down to enjoy the main course and dessert they’ve prepared together.
Who can take part?
Visits can be tailored to accommodate any group of schoolchildren—Year 4 and older, primary or secondary—whether they’ve previously participated in the core Adopt or School programme or not.
Each date has capacity for a standard class of 30 pupils, plus four accompanying adults.
