Langleybury Children’s Farm

Langleybury Children?s Farm is situated within the grounds of a 400 acre estate gifted to the Local County Council in the 1960?s. The glorious Georgian Manor House and grounds were converted into a?school that closed its doors in 1996. The Farm was once used by the school to teach rural studies, and many of the buildings we occupy are from that period, the current shop being the old classroom. In 2007 the Manor and grounds were sold off and the farm and charity are now tenants of The Grove who are very generous in their sponsorship. The charity now exists to provide an environment where you can come and see animals close up and learn about their lives and behaviour. As society becomes more remote from food production our role in the education of children in the ways of rural life becomes more important. The Farm employs a Farm Manager and farm hand?but otherwise exists on a voluntary basis.
