Butterlope Farm Social Farming opportunities for adults with support needs and education visits for groups & schools.

Butterlope Farm is located 2 miles from the village of Plumbridge in the beautiful Glenelly Valley at the heart of the Sperrins. Owned and managed by Annie and Vincent they care for sheep, hens, calves and sheepdogs. As a Social Farm we provide an alternative to those in need of social care. Participants can join with farm, wildlife and gardening activities. Coming to Butterlope Farm gives participants the opportunity to learn how to care for sheep and calves including feeding, lambing, herding, shearing, and caring for any ailments or problems they have. All activities are thoroughly risk managed and delivered at the participants pace. Other farming activities include feeding and caring for the poultry, collecting eggs, and helping to maintain the farm habitats and structures. This could range from dry stone walling to fencing and woodwork projects. A workshop allows the majority of items such as feeders, hen boxes, bird boxes and gates to be produced on the farm. The small kitchen garden, greenhouse and polytunnel provide opportunities for gardening activities such as vegetable and fruit growing. In addition, Butterlope Farm participants have the opportunity to enjoy and learn about the environment and the richness of our beautiful countryside. Participants may also have the opportunity to achieve LANTRA Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications.

Some photos from our first ever Bat Walk, many moons ago! Recognise anyone? Still a few places left for this Thursday evening. See the poster to book. Always a great evening with presentations from bat experts and tea and scones served afterwards. This group of kids also enjoyed all the blackberries on the way around!
