Over the last year we have been working hard to make the farm more accessible, and inclusive.

2011 was ayear of planning and talking while 2012 is destined to be a year of action!

Clynfyw Care Farm is work in progress. We see a long term development ahead of us and suggestions from visitors are more welcomed.

The Care Farm is for people who are staying in the cottages and also for local people coming in on a pre-organised daily basis. We are not and are not planning to be a 'drop in for a day tourist attraction' type of place. We know that people enjoy our cottages and the farm because of the peace and quiet. While we are trying to develop the farm, we are committed to keeping the tranquility and peace of the farm.

Currently we have pigs in the woodland, rescue chickens in the 'henitentiary', raised beds, a pottery and a sculpture trail woodland walk for people to enjoy.

We are planning to put in a woodland numeracy and literacy trail in the Spring of 2012 and have several other projects just starting up which include an apple juicing micro-enterprise, a wheelchair refurbishment project (revitalising unused wheelchairs for export to the developing world where the need is huge), a fruit, vegetable and ornamental flower garden...

We have Open College Network accrediation and can run courses in a huge range of areas from horticulture and creative arts to setting up your own business and self-empowerment. We hope also to run BSL accredited sign language courses again later in the year, so there is plenty of opportunity for learning while you are on holiday here!

We now employ two administration staff and three support workers and will be taking on more staff in the New Year. If you have something to offer, and think you might like to work here, please get in touch. Job satisfaction is high and rates of pay are not too bad!

We would like to thank the following organisations for their support in helping establish the projects so far:

The Country Landowners Association, Pembrokeshrire Association of Voluntary Services (PAVS), Milford Haven Port Authority, Collaborative Communities

All feedback and suggestions are much appreciated.
