SUMMARY:CHICKENS: MEAT AND EGGS FOR YOUR FAMILY
DESCRIPTION:CHICKEN : MEAT AND EGGS FOR YOUR FAMILY DINNER TABLE \nLe Bresse chickens are said to be the most delicious chicken in the world! They also happen to be good egg layers too!\nLouise and her family have been rearing chicken for their family dinner table now for a few years and are keen to show others how they organise their flock and how it provides them with food for their family.\nLe Bresse are a slower growing variety than commercial meat chickens which Louise and her family chose specifically for this reason.\nThey also raise their meat organically and their meat will be available to try on the day.\nThis course will give attendees an insight in to how chicken can provide a valuable food source for your family. The course will include all the information you need about incubation of eggs\, rearing young and keeping a breeding family.\nThere may also be an opportunity to watch a chicken dispatch and dressing of the bird for the table should you wish.\n\nThis event will be held outside so please dress appropriately for the weather. The event is also held on a working smallholding where animals and machinery will be present. Attendees take responsibility for their own safety at all times. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:AN INTRODUCTION TO SMALLHOLDING
DESCRIPTION:  \nPerhaps you're about to take over a smallholding? Or are you relatively new to keeping land and animals? If so\, perhaps you feel you'd like to talk the issues through with others in the same boat\, and with someone who's been doing it for a while? If that sounds like you\, then our "Introduction to Smallholding" workshop is just the thing for you. \nCome and spend the afternoon finding out what smallholding entails from a practical perspective\, as you visit this 7 acre plot. Paul Lovatt Smith has been working on the land for over 15 years\, and has a wealth of knowledge that he's happy to share\, including: \n\nHow to get started - we know it's all a bit overwhelming at first\nWhat's involved with the paperwork and legal aspects\, as well as the finances\nA basic overview of keeping poultry\, sheep\, cattle and pigs\nGrowing veg\nMaking hay and growing small-scale cereals\n\nPlease note: \nthis course will be held outdoors (and partly in a barn) - so please do wear suitable outdoors clothing\, bearing in mind that this is England - it may well be cold and damp (or warm and sunny\, boiling and dry\, windy and snowing... you get the picture). \nCan't make this date? Event sold out? Please email our training organiser so that you will be on the list when we run the workshop again. \n  \nNEXT DATE JUST ADDED - - SATURDAY 11TH APRIL 2026 -- PLEASE BOOK TICKETS VIA OUR EVENTS PAGE \n
