About Fairfield Community Farm
Improving health and wellbeing through animals and nature
Fairfield Community Farm is a small, not for profit project situated on Ruskington Fen, just outside Sleaford, Lincolnshire. The farm is home to a variety of friendly animals and by engaging with them our visitors receive meaningful and hands on experiences which promote calm and connection. We believe that being outdoors surrounded by the natural world and other like-minded people has a profound effect on health and happiness, improving self esteem and quality of life.
Coming in May
Community Open Weekend
Join us at Fairfield Community Farm to learn about animals and nature through hands on activities led by our wonderful team of volunteers.
Thanks to a grant from NKDC Flourishing Communities, this event is available for just £3 per person.
Numbers are limited, so book now!
