The Country Trust

The Country Trust is a national educational charity that connects children from areas of high social and economic disadvantage with the land that sustains us all.
Through food, farming and countryside experiences we empower children to be confident, curious and create change in their lives and the world around them, so that they and society thrive

Discovering where food comes from

Discovering where food comes from
“Our pupil premium ratio is high and many of our children do not get the opportunity to visit farms. It’s a valuable experience for them to understand that food is not made/grown ‘in the shops’ but comes from elsewhere.” – Teacher, The Oaks Primary School

Developing food confidence

Developing food confidence
“Our children are more curious about where food comes from. One parent has actually mentioned that their child is now trying lots of foods that they weren’t trying before.” – Teacher, St Patrick’s School

Hands-on, real-life experiences

Hands-on, real-life experiences
“These trips benefit the children so much, most of whom have never been to a farm. Even the most reluctant of learners have a renewed interest in our curriculum, it enriches their vocabulary and provides a sense of purpose in their writing.” Teacher, Myatt Garden Primary
