Explore food, farming and nature on a working organic estate!
Bring your class to Bore Place for a hands-on learning experience exploring where food comes from and how it can be grown in harmony with the natural world. Our 500-acre organic estate in the heart of the Kent countryside - just an hour from London - provides a great opportunity to connect curriculum learning with real-world sustainability, and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
Pupils will discover the principles of organic farming, learn about seasonality, and explore vegetable growing in our productive market garden. They'll investigate nature and habitats across our diverse estate and can even take part in real-life citizen science activities.

The students learn so much when they visit Bore Place. Today the students learnt about animal tracking and signs as well as team building activities and mindfulness exercises.
Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience - we love getting children outside and exploring!
