Wood Farm Poultry

We are proud custodians of the Hatchery and flock of Lincolnshire Buff Chickens!

Located within the South Ormsby Estate, Wood Farm Poultry is home to a rare, native breed, the Lincolnshire Buff Chicken.

These birds are not only beautiful and historically significant, but they also play a vital role in educating future generations about sustainable food systems.

As part of The Farm School, we are passionate about educating visitors, students, and families about where food really comes from.

The hatchery offers a unique, hands on learning experience that brings the food journey to life, from egg to chicken to table.

 

Our visitors can:

  • Witness chicks hatching

  • Learn about poultry husbandry and welfare

  • Understand the importance of rare breed conservation

  • See how ethical farming connects us to our food

Organic, Pasture for Life

Our flock of Lincolnshire Buff Chickens is proudly organic, raised in conditions that meet the highest standards of animal welfare.

This organic status is more than a label,  it’s a powerful teaching tool.

It helps our visitors understand:

  • The value of natural farming methods

  • Why organic food matters for health and the environment

  • The connection between good farming and good food

By witnessing farming in action, learners of all ages gain a meaningful appreciation for how food is grown, raised, and cared for.
