Support us

The Farm lost 70% of its core funding in 2002. Since that time, the farm has been responsible for generating its own income. This is mainly done through continuous fundraising and remains a challenging activity; the farm needs all the support it can get.

Fundraising remains an ongoing challenge in this particularly difficult economic time the farm is facing very real financial pressure on its ability to provide an open access space. If you are able to support us by donating or by running small fundraising activities or events your time and effort will be very much appreciated. Every penny counts and donations no matter how small or large will all go towards keeping the farm as the fantastic community resource it is. To donate to our general fund, please go to http://www.everyclick.com/freightliners-farm-limited/1014216/0/info

Ways to help the Farm

Adoption
Adopt an animal. Animals on the farm are up for adoption; the adoption fee varies for each animal.

Adopt a tree. We have just planted an orchard; the apple trees are all varieties old native apple trees. Most of these apples cannot be bought in shops as modern hybrid trees produce many more apples and are pest-resistant. The trees on the farm are part of our heritage, but unfortunately they are no longer economically viable. The apple trees can be adopted for £30 each.
