Home to a business & conference facility and a farm shop, Top Barn Farm is a mixed, 300 hectare farm situated on the banks of the Severn River.
Top Barn Farm is situated 5 miles north of Worcester along the A443.
Using land reclaimed from gravel extraction, students from Top Barn Training have built a small-holding on the farm, which has gardens, a sensory trail,
livestock (pigs, goats and poultry) green buildings and craft facilities.
The farm estate is also used to enhance the breadth and scale of projects
on offer. |
