In the charity's own words
MPSF provides a unique opportunity for city children to gain an insight into Food and Farming. The purpose built classroom, unique working farm facilities support teaching many aspects of the school curriculum in particular where our food comes from for age ranges up to KS4 and special needs. Trustees, Staff and Farmer have enabled the service to continue after BCC's OLS threatened its closure.
