This year sees a considerable
expansion of our courses programme, with much more in the pipeline.
At the Husbandry School all materials are included in the course
fee, plus you'll leave with lots of things to take home with you.
Course numbers are restricted so that there is
plenty of opportunity to ask questions and receive one-to-one attention.
And lunch and refreshments will be provided from produce grown
at the Husbandry School, naturally. |

Dirt to Dinner
If you are keen to explore
new, exciting and wholesome cuisine using ingredients you have
grown yourself, then this is the course for you. Fundamentally
you are passionate about food and wish to experiment with more
unusual ingredients so that you can lift your menus out of
the norm to a new level. But also you are increasingly concerned
these days about where the ingredients you use come from, and
how they are grown. Of course, growing your own produce eliminates
many of these doubts and concerns - but do you know how?
