NewLandOwner
have developed a Farming Experience Weekend,
designed to help all those wishing to learn
a little of what is involved in running a
smallholding.
As much “Hands-on” experience
as possible, including participants learning
how to up-end a sheep, to check it’s health
and trim its’ feet.
Instructors on these courses
are all local farmers and
countrymen, who are
practicing what they preach. Two are ex
lecturers at Derbyshire’s now defunct
Agricultural College.
Butchery course
A one-day
introduction to butchering your own meat,
for sale or for your own table.
Our butcher Richard’s small cutting room is
ideally suited to his hands-on approach to
instruction, where he will first demonstrate
procedures, then supervise each participant
cutting up half a lamb.
Due to the small numbers involved, dates for
these courses can often be arranged to suit
applicants.
