Hi everyone,

What a great site this is.  We've been smallholding for a few years now and keep chickens and ducks (for eggs and meat), milking goats, pigs, meat rabbits with plans to take on some meat goats and sheep in the Spring of 2011.  We also grow some of our own fruit and vegetables.

Besides 'working the land', we've recently started running smallholder courses.  We currently have Poultry and Beekeeping courses held once a month and a Food Safety for Smallholders Course which runs once every 3 months.

Over the coming weeks we'll be adding more and more courses including traditional crafts as well as more livestock husbandry courses.

We look forward to dipping in and out of the forums to advise and get advice!

Hello from me in South Lanarkshire and welcome to TAS forum 
I've got some chickens and pigs 
Like you, I'm hoping to run some courses in the new year - I suspect I'll be picking your brains lol!

Hello from Oxfordshire, I have been thinking about running chicken keeping courses, but not quite sure where to start!! We only have very basic facilities here, would I need a classroom type place?
