The FarmStart programme at Woodbank is currently taking a break. If you would like to be added to a list of people who are interested in potential future training programmes, short courses or other opportunities, either at Woodbank Community Food Hub or at Kindling Farm, email farm@kindling.org.uk.
If you’re looking to make a transition from community or allotment growing to commercial production, FarmStart offers the perfect opportunity to build up your skills and experiment with organic commercial-scale growing on a larger scale.
Without hefty savings or a farm in the family, starting a new career on the land is almost impossible for most. By providing training, equipment, land and a growing market, we’ve created a supported route into farming for brand new entrants.
