At Orchard Therapeutic Farm, therapeutic care is deeply ingrained in our ethos, transcending traditional methods to offer a holistic nurturing experience. Nestled amidst nature's tranquility, our farm naturally cultivates therapeutic moments, enabling children to benefit profoundly from our dedicated care and serene environment. Many children come to us for varied reasons, with their Special Educational Needs influencing (in many cases) breakdowns in their full-time educational placements. We fully recognise the challenges this presents for the children, their families, and schools, emphasising our commitment to tailored support.

Central to our philosophy is a therapeutic culture steeped in therapeutic approaches, where every interaction, activity, and intervention is infused with sensitivity, understanding, and intentionality. Our Animal-Assisted Therapy programme, for instance, fosters meaningful interactions that nurture empathy, responsibility, and trust, serving as transformative experiences that significantly shape emotional growth and well-being.

Complementing our dedicated team's expertise, Orchard Therapeutic Farm boasts a staff team, trauma-informed trained. This ensures that our approach is consistent, compassionate and effective, resonating with the unique needs of each child. This dedication is further amplified by our unwavering commitment to fostering a culture rooted in trauma-informed behaviour management, ensuring that healing, growth, and behaviour deemed ‘pro social’ remain part of all our endeavors.

Recognising the multifaceted needs of children and families, we extend our offerings beyond the core, providing opportunities for specialised therapies tailored to individual requirements, from art therapy to breathing therapy. Through a collaborative and culture-driven approach, Orchard Therapeutic Farm guarantees comprehensive care, unwavering support, and transformative experiences for all our children and their support networks and outcomes from their educational health plans.
