Buchan Community Farm

Buchan Community Farm offers a unique service in Aberdeenshire.
At a 49-acre farm in central Buchan, we provide a safe, peaceful and relaxing environment for people to participate in countryside activities.
Working with horses, farm animals, small animals, horticulture, light maintenance, woodwork, and arts and crafts in a therapeutic way, people can experience country life whilst at the same time improve their well-being, health and happiness.
We are here to help anyone, with any life challenges or social exclusion.
This can be anyone in need of help because of age, education, health, impairment or any other requirement for our assistance.
Anyone can benefit from attending the farm, in particular, we can help build:
• Mental wellbeing
• Confidence
• Relationships
• Communication
• Teamwork
• Responsibility
• Focus and reaction
Our tailored service provides:
• Skills development placements
• One-to-ones to build up confidence slowly
• Group Courses
• Personalised courses to suit all needs
• Volunteering opportunities
We also offer certificated short courses such as ASDAN care of animals.

Our approach is centred on creating an individual Support Plan in which general
outcomes are identified from the point of referral. Although individualised, the areas that we are most able to support
outcomes in are:
 Independence and Skills
 Happiness and Fulfilment
 Choice and Control
 Health and Wellbeing
 Feeling Safe and Secure
 Inclusion and Participation
Due to the vulnerability of our Service Users, we are by appointment only.
