Whirlow Hall Farm

Whirlow Hall Farm is a working farm and registered educational charity on Broad Elms Lane at Whirlow in Sheffield, England, run by the Whirlow Hall Farm Trust since its founding in 1979. The trust operates the farm as an educational facility for inner city children and young people with special needs or disabilities, who visit to work with livestock including sheep, pigs, cattle, poultry, ponies, goats and horses, alongside seasonal vegetable growing and a vineyard. Princess Anne visited the project in 1980, and residential dormitories were added in 1983 to allow overnight stays. The trust needs around 350,000 pounds a year to operate, drawing funding from Sheffield City Council grants, admission fees, farm shop sales, fundraising events and corporate sponsorship.
