Hi from North Wales - lets start a smallholding group
« on: June 22, 2013, 04:20:36 pm »
Hi. Just joined the forum after browsing for an age. We live near Wrexham with a large garden of veg, fruit and hens. Try to do the usual stuff (jams, chutneys, sloe gins etc) and would like more land to try more. There has been a few like minds on this forum and others who would like to see a North Wales smallholder group. Why don't we have a go? What do you think?
Would like to hear from you.
Take care all :wave:

Yes - we're on it! (and welcome  :wave: )  Just trying to find a good date and time for first meeting and then work out whos' place or local is most central - we had thought about rotating to have a nose at each others set up (always lots to learn that way) and happy to host first... we'll see who's in...  Look forward to meeting you soon, Fi

Hi FiB

Couldn't find any further info than 'is there a North Wales group?' so it's good that you are a step further down the road (lane?). We would be up for joining any such arrangement, small scale as we are :) Please keep us informed........

There's the Dyfed smallholders group which seems to cover mainly Carmarthenshire, they have been going for about 20years and are very organised. Nothing as far as I know up in North Ceredigion or further. :(

Hi

How close are we to meeting up as a north Wales group? How many out there would like to give it a try?  :thinking:

hello to all fellow North Wales people here

Wondering if the meeting and setting up of a local group mentioned in this thread ever came to something?
I would be very interested to be part of this!
