Rooted in Care,
Growing in Potential.

Learn about our mission to provide meaningful opportunities on a real working farm.

Our Vision

We believe the farm environment provides a unique, therapeutic space where individuals with social care needs can thrive, build confidence, and learn essential life skills.

Our vision is to create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing space where every person can discover their strengths, build meaningful relationships, and live with purpose.

The Environment

Set across 500 acres of beautiful Yorkshire countryside at Carlshead Farm, we offer a peaceful yet productive setting for all our activities.

With rolling fields, fresh air, and natural surroundings, our farm supports mental well-being and encourages connection with nature.

Our Story

Living Potential Care Farming began with a simple belief: nature and farming have the power to heal, empower, and transform lives. What started as a small community project has grown into a dedicated care farm supporting adults with learning disabilities, mental health challenges, and social care needs. We combine real farm work with person-centred care to help people grow — in skills, confidence, and independence.
