It’s the exciting time of year when we invite all who are interested in our FarmStart training programme to our event:
"Do you want to be a farmer?"
We talk about the challenges and joys of farming and the FarmStart training programme format - which is a year of supported growing based in Stockport. There will also be time for a participant-led conversation, with the opportunity to ask questions to Helen the FarmStart Co-ordinator, and a FarmStart’er who will have nearly finished their year.
This event is for people who have an interest in developing their growing skills in an organic and environmentally friendly way, and are thinking about applying for the FarmStart programme.
For those with less growing experience, the commercial grower's course can be more suitable as an introduction. The next commercial grower's course will be happening in Spring 2021, if you’d like to be notified when we release more details, please contact us.
If you’re not sure which course you’d be suitable for, or have any other questions, please feel free to drop us a message at farmstart@kindling.org.uk
