Where and what is the Centre?
The Organic Resource Centre is housed in a traditional farm building at Low Luckens farm, which opened its doors to the public in November 2000. In 2004 the organisation registered as an Industrial & Provident Society for the benefit of the community.
The Centre aims to offer the general public, disadvantaged and special interest groups, the opportunity to understand and experience sustainability in farming, food, wildlife conservation and renewable energy.
The Centre is equipped with information, displays and residential accommodation facilities.
Day or residential visitors can use the Centre as a base to both enjoy and learn from the farm's 220 acres of organically managed farmland, ancient woodland and river habitats.
What are the aims of Low Luckens Organic Resource Centre?
Low Luckens aims to:
- To promote sustainable farming, local healthy food and countryside
- To provide opportunities for learning on the land to people of all ages and abilities
- To run a successful and financially sustainable social enterprise
In practice we run a programme of educational visits to the farm for children of all ages, from nursery to secondary; for groups of children or adults with special needs or social disadvantage; and for any interested group of adults. We also have an annual programme of events/workshops. And we maintain the Centre (open seven days) as a place which any individual or family can use for information, shelter, a cup of tea, when they visit the farm informally. The Centre can also be used as a venue for meetings.
An Opportunity to be involved
An organic farm is a busy place at all times of the year, the tasks changing with the season. The Centre offers the chance for individuals and groups to experience farm and wild habitats first hand.
