The day-to-day needs of the farm keeps us very busy indeed. However, there is time for us to a provide a variety of engaging one-day courses — run both on the farm and at guest venues in the locality — which are designed to empower people in key areas of sustainability and wellbeing. Here, we show-case; natural building techniques, permaculture design, One Planet development, regenerative land management, as well as triple-bottom-line thinking.
The sessions, facilitated by Clive, are informative, interactive, and inspiring, and equip you with practical skills and insights which may be immediately applied to your life and work. Whether you're just starting your journey into sustainable living or looking to expand your knowledge, take a deep-dive into what's possible. Connect with like-minded individuals, ask questions, and leave with a renewed sense of purpose and opportunity. Working together, we can co-create a world where sustainability and wellbeing thrive!

We are not in a position to offer such commitment to training and often, neither are students always in a position to commit to such time. This condensed day allows individuals to immerse in the principles of permaculture and learn how to design resilient and regenerative systems: from garden layouts to community planning. This course offers a holistic approach to sustainable living and land use. Please note, that we deliberately pack in a huge amount of detail that would normally be spread over days into a single day. This is designed to be 'un-packed' by yourself, at your own convenience. Therefore, be prepared for lots of notes and practical sessions which will set you up for afterwards;
