Title: Hi from East Dorset
Post by: RJ97 on October 31, 2013, 10:01:02 pm

Hi. I'm married, have 2 sons, expecting another son next year. We just have a small veg patch, no room for animals but am interested in small scale farming and keen to help out wherever I can.
We enjoy home baking and walks in the New Forest.

I have some experience of poultry preparation eg with dry plucking, and would like to post an ad offering help with this- please can someone advise where I should place such an ad?

Thanks
Rich

Hello and welcome to the forum. I used to live in Ashley Heath. By the sounds of things you are close by there.

Hello and welcome from Carnoustie :wave:

We don't have an adverts page yet - maybe put a post in poultry board meantime  :thumbsup:

Thank you for the welcome posts. Yes, not too far from Ringwood and Ashley Heath.
Thanks for the suggestion Rosemary, post sorted.

I'm also happy to help with home/on farm butchering of pork and lamb in case anyone down this way would like help with that.

Hello and welcome from a sunny Somerset. :sunshine:  I wish you were a bit nearer. I could do with someone to help with the butchering. Good luck with your new venture.
