Members Enjoy Exclusive Visit to Arden Farms
Updated: Aug 3
"This has been the highlight of my whole Membership with the LAS."
High praise indeed, but that was the verdict from one attendee following our recent Members' visit to Ardens Farms, home of The Venison Company.
Around 30 Lincolnshire Agricultural Society (LAS) Members enjoyed a fascinating behind-the-scenes tour hosted by Paul and Sarah Arden, alongside Deer Manager Martin. Blessed with beautiful sunshine, the group had the opportunity to learn more about the deer farming enterprise and gain a unique insight into the journey from field to fork.
The visit began out in the fields, where Members were able to see the deer and learn more about their management and welfare. The tour then moved on to the farm's handling systems and processing facilities, providing a detailed look at the care, expertise and attention that goes into producing high-quality venison.
One of the key aims of the Society's Members' events programme is to offer exclusive access to agricultural businesses and experiences that are not usually available to the public. The visit to Ardens Farm certainly delivered on that promise, with plenty of opportunities for Members to ask questions, share experiences and learn directly from those working within the industry.
As well as gaining a greater understanding of modern deer farming, the morning provided the chance to connect with fellow Members who share a passion for agriculture, food production and the Lincolnshire countryside.
The LAS would like to extend its sincere thanks to Paul, Sarah and Martin for their warm welcome and generosity in sharing their knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with our Members.

A simple Calculator is useful in more situations than people might expect. It can help with household expenses, shopping totals, percentages, schoolwork, and quick financial checks. Having one readily available makes routine calculations much easier.
A fast car is useful, but knowing when to slow down can matter even more. driving games make every corner, shortcut, and sudden obstacle part of the fun.
Balancing multiple assessments with different formats this term was way harder than I expected going in. There was one week I nearly missed a submission entirely because I'd underestimated how different the marking rubric was from what I'd assumed. Someone in my study group brought up Help With Assessments, though honestly what saved me more was finally going through the rubric line by line before writing anything.
I loved reading about the exclusive visit to Arden Farms! It sounds like such a unique experience for members. I'm curious—what were some of the key takeaways from interacting with the animals? I had a similar experience with a ragdoll hit at a local farm where I learned so much about animal care!
This was a lovely look at the Members’ visit to Ardens Farms and the experience of seeing modern deer farming up close. I liked how the article balanced the farming process with the value of asking questions, sharing knowledge, and connecting with fellow members. A similar community-focused feature on https://gocollectiv.com/ also reminded me how valuable these behind-the-scenes experiences can be.
