Welcome to the trail at Sheepdrove Farm

Sheepdrove organic farm is a family-run, mixed organic farm of over 800 hectares, owned by Peter and Juliet Kindersley. It raises sheep, free-range poultry, cattle and pigs, together with arable crops. Set high on the Berkshire Downs, ancient sheep drove lanes link the farm to the famous Ridgeway Trail across a rolling landscape.

Animal welfare

Sheepdrove ensures that its animals are kept to the highest standards of animal welfare. This farm trail is aimed at KS1 and KS2 Citizenship Unit 3, Animals and us. It focuses on the farm animals and wildlife at Sheepdrove and looks at:

• The basic needs and rights of farm animals

• The organic farm's responsibilities and how Sheepdrove looks after animals and wildlife

• How the Soil Association sets rules and campaigns for better standards of animal welfare

• What we can do to support good animal welfare.
