Title: midlands smallholding co operative
Post by: WannaBeFarmerJoe on February 20, 2013, 11:28:40 am
Hi all,

Wasn't sure where would be the best place to put this so i'm sorry if its the wrong place, basically looking for smallholders in the midlands area to setup a co operative, trying to gauge interest so if you are interested head over to the small website I have setup www.midlandssmallholding.co.uk (http://www.midlandssmallholding.co.uk)

Thanks,
Joe

Best of luck!  I would subscribe to any newsletter if you get that far but am too far away to be more than an interested party.

Sounds like a fab idea! It's a shame we are moving away from the area in a year or so. I hope you manage to get this rolling, I think its a good solution for those people who arn't in a position to have their own smallholding but would like to be involved in similar community projects.

It's sounds like a great idea and I would have been interested a few years ago.  There must be people near enough to be involved.

Am also in the Midlands so would be interested in seeing how this develops, clearly early days at the moment!

Very interested in this, we've been thinking about this sort of thing too with all the recent hoo ha about horse being in some foods.  You might have a smallholders Association near you.
