Green Skills - Suffolk Rural

Our farm at Suffolk Rural showcases and teaches sustainable land management. The farm has LEAF accreditation and is managed on sustainable land management principles. Our horticulture team ran an award-winning sustainable garden using recycled materials at the 2023 Suffolk Show and have set up a vertical farm which will supply produce to our new Farm Shop and our hospitality team. Animals at Suffolk Rural have benefitted from new enclosures made with our learners from recycled wood, and we are developing our woodland and wildlife gardens on sustainable principles with our learners. Suffolk Centre for the Culinary Arts, our hospitality and catering department, use Suffolk Rural farm produce in our catering and teach learners and businesses how to select and use local food
