We take the "FAR" out of "FARM"

    We are now taking bookings for autumn 2025 and spring/summer 2026

PLEASE NOTE WE ARE FINDING OUR DIARY IS FILLING UP EARLIER EACH YEAR PLEASE DON'T DELAY  BOOKING A VISIT

Ian's Mobile Farm specialise in making educational visits to schools.We have visited 100's of schools throughout Yorkshire & surrounding counties with a 100% satisfaction record. We are passionate about educating and introducing children to a variety of friendly animals covering your national curriculum topic whilst encouraging a hands on experience that will stay in children's memories for years to come.

​

​

​

​

​

​

We offer flexible sessions—anywhere from a 30 min to 2hrs—tailored to curriculum topics like science, biology, farming and animal care.

We introduce each animal—goats, sheep, donkeys, alpacas, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, poultry, tortoises, ponies—explaining what they eat, where they live, and how they’re cared for.

Hands-on experiences: Children pet, stroke, and compare animals (e.g., rabbits vs guinea pigs), and can if added even experience milking a model cow. They may also examine alpaca fleece and see its transformation into yarn or a knitted scarf—a great curriculum linkage.

·  

The service is all-inclusive: trailers, pens, gazebos, benches, vehicle set-up, and animal care—including insured, DEFRA / Local authority permits with full risk assessments. Ian & Family handle everything from pre-dawn feeding and transport to post-visit cleaning and paperwork

Schools report significant benefits in children’s language use and understanding of topics like habitats and animal care .

Science and welfare education: Lessons include discussions on animal origins, daily needs, different sheep/goat breeds, fleece production, and welfare issues.

​

in summery a visit from Ian's Mobile Farm will provide a memorable, sensory engagement: Allowing students to brush, stroke & sometimes feed that builds lasting connections that boost interest in agriculture and STEM.

We provide everything needed for the visit including gazebos for the children and animals in case of poor weather , benches for the children to sit on all after each session we ask the children to use our defra approved hand foam and then they must each wash their hands with hot water and soap on return to the school. We can hire the school one of our portable hand wash stations if needed.

We place a strong emphasis on animal welfare, ensuring that all

 animals are treated with respect, compassion, and the highest

standard of care.

Ian’s Mobile Farm not only practices high standards of animal care but also educates the public—especially children—on the importance of animal welfare. Through its programs, the farm helps foster empathy and responsible behaviour toward animals.

 

Above all, the farm puts the animals’ wellbeing first. Participation in mobile events is rotated so no animal is overworked, and time is built into the schedule for rest and recovery.

 

This thoughtful approach ensures that animals at Ian’s Mobile Farm live healthy, enriched lives and are true ambassadors for

compassionate farming and education.

 

Ian’s Mobile Farm welcomes animals that have been abandoned,

 neglected, or can no longer be cared for by their previous owners. These may include animals from difficult backgrounds or those that have outgrown their original homes.


Through this compassionate approach, Ian’s Mobile Farm not only saves animals in need but also turns their stories into powerful lessons in kindness, responsibility, and hope
