As teachers and educators, we know that some of the most meaningful learning happens beyond the classroom walls. That’s exactly why The Countryside Kitchen exists—to offer children a hands-on, memorable way to explore food, farming, sustainability, and wellbeing right at the source.

Nestled on a working farm on the Northamptonshire-Leicestershire - Warwickshire border, The Countryside Kitchen is an immersive outdoor learning environment where pupils can discover where their food comes from, how it’s grown, and why healthy eating matters. Our “Grow, Cook, Eat, Discover” workshops are designed to complement the national curriculum in science, design & technology, PSHE, and geography, giving pupils the chance to plant seeds, harvest vegetables, meet the animals, and cook nutritious meals from scratch.

Our sessions are led by experienced educators and supported by a registered not-for-profit CIC, No Fuss Meals for Busy Parents. We’ve created a classroom on the farm that’s accessible, inclusive, and brimming with real-world learning opportunities. Whether it’s understanding the journey of a carrot from soil to plate or discussing the environmental impact of food waste, we bring learning to life in ways textbooks can’t. We’ve even become CEVAS accredited with LEAF education which has helped us to think about the amazing resources we have and create engaging activities.

We also know the challenges schools face with budgets and logistics. That’s why we work hard to keep visits affordable, and we’ve even sourced funding to help support fully funded sessions for schools that need it.

So, if you’re looking for a school trip that will leave a lasting impression, get in touch. We’d love to help you inspire the next generation of food-savvy, environmentally aware young people.
