Field of Joy is a social smallholding in a
magical meadow in Reepham, Norfolk.
We work with adults and children, improving wellbeing and reducing
isolation.
Our work aims to forge friendships and connections with each other and nature.
Our nature-based activities aim to improve physical and mental wellbeing through a person-centered care farming approach.
At Field of Joy you can:
Nurture.
At Field of Joy, you can care for, feed, and groom the animals on-site, including donkeys, horses, rare breed sheep, chickens, and guinea pigs.
Becoming a nurturer is very powerful for people who are often used to being recipients of care. Field of Joy aims to provide a space that fosters this ethos through activities such as caring for both the animals as well as helping with farm tasks such as fencing, weeding, and painting.
Cultivate.
Our nature-based activities aim to improve physical and mental wellbeing through a person-centered care farming approach.
At Field of Joy, we embody the act of cultivation as a form of ‘eco-therapy’ and offer a variety of environmental projects such as planting trees, growing vegetables, flowers, and fruit, as well as collecting fresh eggs, and trying new nature crafts.
Connect.
At Field of Joy, we initiate and develop a connection
to nature through spending time in our wildflower meadows, bird and wildlife watching, and sitting around a campfire with new friends.
Whether you want to get away from technology and the demands of modern life, breathe and try some mindfulness in nature, browse our library and find a peaceful spot to read, or simply sit and drink tea, eat cake and take in the view. Field of Joy is a place where you can connect with nature.
“I loved brushing the donkeys and the horse at the Field of Joy. Mucking out the stables was fun! It was good doing something physical I’ve never done before. It felt good! Thank you donkeys, horse, and Caitlin.”
— Shelley, visitor
