Hi, I'm Jane and I'm a Mum & a Grandma! I love horses and am lucky to keep few at home on the farm. Before starting our farm I worked in primary education, specifically working with children with additional needs and English as a second language. I am passionate about children's learning and very much enjoyed working with them every day. At my last school I was fortunate to be a governor, which I really enjoyed.
