Standalone Farm is a delightful small working show farm set in 170 acres of farmland on the outskirts of Letchworth, the world’s first Garden City. A warm welcome awaits everyone who visits Standalone Farm and you'll discover a great day out for all the family! In the spring, the sights and sounds of newborn lambs, calves and chicks delight the visitors. Ducks waddle around the farmyard and paddle happily in Pix Brook, which meanders through the farm. Pigs, free-range chickens and rarer breeds of poultry can be seen as you wander around the farmyard.

A pleasant picnic area is located next to an outdoor children’s play area and indoor picnic facilities are available during inclement weather. The farm walk takes you through surrounding paddocks, past sheep, cows, different breeds of goats and horses all contentedly grazing.

A wander around the displays in the exhibition barn containing seventy bird specimens, mammals, animal skulls, model dinosaurs, creepy crawlies and a working beehive, will prove interesting to both adults and children. A gentle stroll away, and easily accessible to the disabled, as is much of the farm, are specially constructed hides to view wildfowl in their natural habitat.

The Donkeys

The facilities at Standalone Farm are ideal for school children to better understand all that it takes to run a farm and raise animals. There is scope to complete classwork and project notes, and groups who want to pursue projects are welcome by appointment. The exhibitions will help broaden their knowledge, and workbooks and project aids will ensure that it is a very different school day for the children.
