FAI supports education and experience initiatives for school children, as well as for people with learning disabilities.

The Farm Inspiration Trust (FIT) believes that farms and farming have a lot more to offer local communities than simply the production of our food.

Farms offer a space where people can learn and develop in an outdoor, open environment.

We see the huge benefits farming life can have on the health and well-being of those taking part, particularly people who face challenges in their lives. We are passionate about increasing access to these opportunities through our farm-based programmes.

FIT is based on the FAI (Food Animal Initiative) Farms in Wytham. FAI Farms is part of the Benchmark Holdings plc group of companies. It is a beautiful, 1,900-acre organic livestock farm located five miles from the centre of Oxford.

Currently, FIT runs two programmes on FAI Farms; FarmAbility is a day service for adults with autism and learning disabilities, and Outdoor Classroom provides educational visits to the farm for school children.
