Easter Anguston Farm is an operational farm, and local community resource, which serves as a training facility for adults with learning difficulties and other additional support needs. Situated in Peterculter, the farm has 75 acres of arable land, used as a working farm, plus 20 acres of woodland which normally attracts over 20,000 visitors from across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and beyond. As a charity we do not charge any entry fee for the community to access this resource. Instead, we rely on voluntary donations to enable us to provide free access for all. Easter Anguston Farm operates many volunteer days; brings various groups together and forms new relationships within the community. This is an excellent springboard to get local people interested and engaged with the service, whilst teaching them about the complex learning needs of our adult trainees, as well as the countryside. The farm is of great community benefit and is a valuable resource that can be accessed by children and adults from areas of high deprivation or regeneration across the city. For many children, it is the first time they have experienced a family day out, nature, seen animals up close or had an opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and play parks that Easter Anguston Farm can offer. We also have many sensory areas across the farm for children with additional support needs; developed our woodland walks to incorporate disabled access enabling children or adults with disabilities to access woodland, and connect with nature.
