Low Luckens Organic Resource Centre





Farmland based in Carlisle.

The Organic Resource Centre is housed in a traditional farm building at Low Luckens farm, which opened its doors to the public in November 2000.

The Centre aims to offer the general public and special interest groups, the opportunity to understand and experience sustainability in farming, food, wildlife conservation and waste management.

The Centre is equipped with information, displays and residential facilities.

Day or residential visitors can use the Centre as a base to both enjoy and learn from the farm's 220 acres of organically managed farmland, ancient woodland and river habitats.

Low Luckens aims to:

To promote sustainable farming, local healthy food and countryside.

To provide opportunities for learning on the land to people of all ages and abilities.

To run a successful and financially sustainable social enterprise.

In practice we run a programme of educational visits to the farm for children of all ages, from nursery to secondary; for groups of children or adults with special needs or social disadvantage; and for any interested group of adults. We also have an annual programme of events/workshops. And we maintain the Centre (open seven days) as a place which any individual or family can use for information, shelter, a cup of tea, when they visit the farm informally. The Centre can also be used as a venue for meetings. In addition we have simple self-catering accommodation for holidays on the farm or for people who want to come and help with conservation or farm work.

The Centre is open all year round and provides simple, clean and inexpensive self-catering accommodation for groups, families and individuals who enjoy the countryside, or want to become actively involved in farm or conservation work.

The Centre is on two levels, the ground floor holds information and displays, plus a small kitchen area, shower, toilet, drying room and single/disabled sleeping accommodation.

The first floor has two bedrooms each containing four single beds. One of these rooms has en-suite shower and toilet.

The Centre's information and display area is open to the public during certain hours, however, the residential facilities are private.
