How Many Registered Care Farms are there in the UK?
There are no ‘registered’ care farms in the UK as there is no system of registration here. In fact, there’s no system of registration in the rest of Europe either, although there is a quality assurance scheme in Holland that care farms are encouraged to sign up to. More than 70 care farms responded to the questionnaire circulated by the University of Essex in 2007 (click here for the research document), but there are certainly more in existence than that. A number of care farms have uploaded their details to this website, which you can locate via our Find Care Farms web page. But there are many others who don’t know about us, or who haven’t yet uploaded their details. It this is you, why visit the Care Farm registration page today! If you know of care farm close to you that could appear on our directory please encourage them to sign up via the Care Farm Registration page.
