Hello all,
I'm Neil. My wife Lou and I rent a small farm near Market Drayton. We run adventure holidays here for kids with disabilities, mainly brain injuries. We tend to be quite quiet during term time, so I'm looking into doing something with the farm to keep me busy, to produce our own food for clients, and hopefully make a bit of money towards the rent out of it!
I'm lucky to be surrounded by very friendly dairy farmers and very knowledgable people, but sometimes as a beginner you need a (recent) beginner to explain things to you in simple terms.
We have about 4 acres at the moment, and a few barns. There are another 6 acres set aside for us if we want them. At the moment I'm thinking sheep, possibly lambing in december to hit easter markets.
Looking forward to picking all your brains...
