Welcome to the BLISSBERRY FARM MOUNTCHARLES site
At Blissberry Social Farm there are a variety of ways in which we can
work with and support individuals. Each package will be specifically
tailored for each individual dependent on need. We aim to engage -
encourage - empower, to bring about positive change for each
individual.
ACTIVITIES
Our activities include
Animal Assisted Therapy - We have donkeys, hens and sheep grazing
during the summer months. Most of our animals graze free within our
boundaries. We will also soon have our first colonies of honey bees!
Horticulture
We have a small orchard, raised beds, an open cultivated area of
organic blueberries and polytunnels.
Involvement all year round in planting saplings of Oak, Larch, Hazel
and Ash as well as hedgerow plants such as Elder and Blackthorn.
Our woodland is designed to encourage small animals, birds and
insects
Other activities
In addition to general small holding maintenance we also undertake
hedge and tree maintenance (during the Autumn and Winter - when the
growing season is over and all bird nesting is finished).
Blissberry Organic Farm is surrounded by open countryside with its
abundant flora and fauna*.
We also offer birdwatching (we have birds such as Pheasant, Thrush,
Tits, Jays and Crows).
For wet weather, in addition to horticultural work that we can do
under cover, we have a full schedule of indoor activities including
Horticultural Therapy at Blissberry Social Farm
Therapeutic Horticultural projects help people improve fitness,
mobility and social and mental health.
People of any age can participate and the activities can be varied
according to their abilities.
The activities involved with horticulture therapy can be made
accessible for anyone.
