Forest School Christmas art
Sometimes the simple things are the most effective! Using a wood slice, nails and some yarn you can create natural 3D pictures. This Christmas inspired artwork was created by one of this term’s Forest School students!
Homemade lanterns
We enjoy our campfires all year round here at Magdalen. However they are particularly welcomed in the winter months, providing warmth alongside a sense of community as stories are shared and apples are toasted.

Stargazing at night

Recently, we welcomed Hob Green Primary School to the farm for a week long residential visit thanks to the help of The Ernest Cook Trust and their OWLs programme. The pupils were in awe of the […]
Check out our loofahs
These very large cucumber and courgette lookalikes are actually, loofah plants. These can be either picked whilst small for cooking or when left to mature they can be used to make exfoliating sponges! These plants grow as vines, and have created a lovely archway within our polytunnel.
Egg collecting
Collecting the eggs from our organically farmed chickens is an activity highlight. Our visitors get hands on with the farm to fork process by collecting and sorting the eggs, which are then enjoyed scrambled for breakfast the next day.
Apple Harvesting
The first of the apple harvest has taken place at Magdalen Farm, with over 30 crates picked! Our harvested apples get taken to North Perrott Fruit Farm where they will be pressed into delicious apple juice which gets enjoyed by the many visitors to the farm.
Our Nature’s Art Sessions
Our Nature’s Art sessions provide the opportunity to combine creativity with the outdoors. This fantastic clay sculpture was made by a pupil from Cannington Primary School, and was inspired by his favourite animal of the visit – Buttercup the Boer Goat!
