Field Days Organic

Field Days Organic is a horticulture training project run by Innovate Trust at the Amelia Trust Farm in the Vale of Glamorgan.

The project is Organically Certified by the Soil Association and offers a therapeutic horticultural training environment for adults with a learning disability or other support needs.

Field Days Organic aims

Field Days Organic goes beyond growing vegetables.

It is designed to support adults with learning disabilities by aligning with Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan’s Adult Learning Disability Strategy.

Here is how:

Field Days Organic ethos

Field Days Organic is a day activity based around our participants with learning disabilities being part of a team. 

We grow delicious fruits and vegetables that are sold directly to visitors and other outlets.

The project’s gardens are also open to the public to enjoy.

For participants, Field Days Organic offers a sense of purpose and responsibility, as a real working environment would.

Get involved in Field Days Organic

People with learning disabilities can be referred by Social Services directly or their support network.

We offer taster sessions so that people can experience the project firsthand.

Choose to participate 1, or more, days a week, on a short-term or long-term basis.

We offer minibus pick-up points in Cardiff and Barry, or people can use their own transportation.

Participation will be reviewed regularly to ensure Field Days Organic continues to meet the needs and wishes of our participants.
