This course aims to give visitors a hands-on insight into the fundamentals of running a smallholding. The course is run by Senara Higgs, owner of Hendra Farm, who uses her years of experience from running a smallholding in Cornwall to give practical advice on the day-to-day demands of running a smallholding.

Some of the topics covered will be: > Choosing & keeping livestock > Land Management – fencing, weed control, pasture rotation > What records do you need to keep? > Where to purchase your stock > Selling excess produce and stock > The dos and don’ts of smallholding (from years of experience!) > Self sufficiency – how to start the process!
