📅 When? Monday 27th - Friday 31st January 2025
📍 Where? Jamie’s Farm, Monmouth, Wales
🤔 What?
Jamie’s Farm uniquely combines farming, family and mindfulness sessions into a 5-day residential with a focus on giving children time and space to reflect, to renew and determine a new path for themselves. We do this by creating an environment where they feel respected, and are given opportunities to display their talents and show responsibility.
What does a typical day look like on the farm?
- 7:30am: Rise and shine! Morning jobs start at 8 am!
- 9:15am: A delicious breakfast made by one of the groups.
- 10:30am: Farm jobs – working with the animals, doing maintenance on the farm, cooking lunch and preparing food.

- 4:00pm: A tasty snack and then a walk or adventure!
- 5:30pm: Shower time – farm work is smelly so it’s time to get clean.
