Fordhall Organic Farm are celebrating Brilliant Bugs at the moment with our Brilliant Bug farm trail.
Follow the trail, and use the bug box and paint brush in your goody bags to find bugs of you own. Perfect for some toddler fun in the sun this week. We love sharing our love of these small and wonderful creatures. They are the backbone of our organic farm. Composting dead plants, mixing the soil, reducing compaction, creating air holes, adding nutrients and proving food for birds and other insects around them. Bugs are simply Brilliant!! Brilliant bug trail bags are available from the farm shop for £2.50
About Fordhall Organic Farm
Fordhall Organic Farm is located in Market Drayton, north Shropshire. It is England’s first community-owned farm following a high profile campaign in 2006. At the time over 8,000 people across the world supported siblings Charlotte and Ben Hollins to save their family home. Now owned by the community and farmed by Ben Hollins, Fordhall is a wonderful example of community spirit and real organic farming.

Fordhall Organic Farm is free to visit. We aim to show that small-scale farming, connected to the local community, offers a viable way of life for generations to come. The farm has been chemical free for over 65 years, and we rear cattle, sheep and pigs on an outdoor extensive grazing system.
As England’s first community owned farm we offer a day out for the whole family with Farm Trails, Farm Shop, and Arthur’s Farm Kitchen café (fully open from 18th May 2021 for indoor and outdoor seating ).
You can even spend a magical glamping holiday here in our Shropshire-made Mongolian yurts. Our beautiful eco Straw Lodge is available to host your event or offer accommodation for larger groups.
We also run a range of events, volunteering activities, Youth Project and our Care Farm.
You can even become a shareholder of this wonderful farm, or gift a share to family or friends if you are looking for an ethical gift
