Throwback to last week’s Meet the Farmers episode where Ben chats to Dr Johnny Wake from Northamptonshire.
As well as his work as Managing Partner at Courteenhall Farms, Johnny also talks about the origin of New Leaf Learning - a registered charity providing outdoor-based education for primary school-aged children.
Johnny talks about the impact this has had on the children, and gives his advice for farmers wanting to also engage with schools.

#MeetTheFarmers
‘From the moment I arrived, it was clear that you have created a place where growth, healing, and learning go hand in hand. The approach to education and development is not only innovative but deeply human — rooted in empathy, resilience, and empowerment.’

New Leaf Learning, based at Courteenhall Estate, Northampton, are looking for very special volunteers to support us in working with our groups of children and school staff. This would be perfect for someone looking for work experience and training working in a unique education or wellbeing programme, or for someone who has interesting skills to pass on to our children. 1 or 2 days a week during our 5 week terms. Volunteers will be subject to our selection processes and to appropriate safeguarding checks. We welcome all applicants. Let’s start with sending an introduction email to [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you! #volunteering #community #education #northants @everyone
