Hi Rob
I am so sorry to hear your not selling any
more are you retiring? Its ages since we
caught up and I would really like to keep in
touch, this is our last year to prove we can
make a business and we are changing our
sheep from Zwarbles to either Shetland,
Bewal or some or rare breed and acquiring
some cows either Shetland or Belted Galloway
or similar as we have now got HLS and need
to cross graze? sorry still not that
familiar with the terminology. We were
thinking of pigs but not sure yet :)
We have done loads since we saw you I have
been to Highgrove to meet Prince Charles
(part of the care farming fraternity) won
West Midlands Youth employer of the year :)
started selling veg got an order for 20
boxes from Moorlands Housing. I have
done my CEVAS training preparing for the
Educational access visits. Check out our web
site
www.farm2grow.co.uk and let me know
what you think (if you have time)
We have come such a long way from when we
first met you :) Are you still going to be
running courses?
I know I am babbling on but I wanted you to
see where people can get when they are
supported by the likes of you and Rob you
helped to make all this possible. People are
benefiting from the fruits of your labour
not just us but people from deprived areas
of the city, people with ill health are
recovering and young people long term
unemployed are being employed by us for 6
months at a time, and new Landowners played
a huge part in making this dream come true
so THANK YOU.
Please do call round if ever you are passing
I would love to show you around and have a
cuppa
Take Care and once again many many thanks
Helen and Ian xx
