The organisation, which was founded by Sam and Emily Stables, was established to break the stigma surrounding mental health in the farming community.
The visit comes after tractors lined the streets outside a farming conference in Oxford on Thursday as the Environment Secretary insisted "that's it" for changes to the Government's inheritance tax for farming businesses.
Farmers who say an unaffordable inheritance tax bill will mean they have to sell up called on Emma Reynolds to "come out and talk to us" after she said she had "no idea" what they want.
Labour was accused of "absolutely crucifying" British farming, with one protester saying they have "no trust at all" in Sir Keir Starmer's Government following the announcement of their "egregious" policy.

She said: "I've listened to farmers and stakeholders about your concerns on proposed changes to inheritance tax.
"You told me the threshold was too low, you told me it would hit small family farms, the very farms we want to protect.
"Farms that have been in families for generations. Farms you understandably want to pass on to your children. We have listened, and we are making changes."

"It should be gone completely, because it's not fair that when you have a bereavement in your family, you then go and lose your business. Because your farm is your shop floor at the end of the day, and taking land away to pay a tax is just egregious. It's terrible."
Stressing that he is still within the threshold to pay the inheritance tax despite Labour's U-turn, he explained: "Unfortunately, I'm single, so it's only £2.5million. My farm is still in there and gets caught in the inheritance tax. It's completely wrong.
"Labour hasn't listened to us at all; they've listened to one lobbying group, which is the NFU (National Farmers' Union). NFU only speak for one in seven of us at the end of the day, and the rest of us are now caught up in it. It's horrendous."
