Welcome to Hertfordshire Young Farmers website. Young Farmers Clubs offer 10-26 year olds a wide variety of opportunities, it may be socialising, learning new skills, disco’s and dances, sporting events, competitions, and much, much more.
We have at present 6 clubs in Hertfordshire and meet either weekly or fortnightly, meetings are education, challenging and fun.
Young Farmers Clubs are run by their members for members and provide young people with the unique opportunity to develop skills, travel abroad, take part in a huge choice of competitions at county, area and regional level, including crafts, sports, cooking and many more, the list is almost endless. Young Farmers also have a dynamic social life, they get involved in local community projects as well as national projects, whether it is raising money for charities or doing community conservation work.
There are 6 regional areas in England and Hertfordshire form part of the Eastern Area region.
