FarmCornwall & The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme, for Mid Cornwall.
As a rough guide 20 miles radius of St Austell.
FarmCornwall is partnering with The Prince’s Countryside Fund to deliver The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme in Mid Cornwall. The aim of the programme is to support family farm businesses to improve their confidence, efficiency, and resilience. An added bonus of the programme is that it brings together like minded small to medium sized family farm enterprises in local networks, to help them review their current activity and identify opportunities and improvements that can be made on-farm to build resilience, and to help sustain a diverse farming sector in the UK.
The Programme structure comprises of a series of 5 group workshops, from November to March, plus a further 2 the following September, October on Succession, Benchmarking or Nutrition. There is no charge to the farmer
If at any time you wish to discuss something personally with a consultant you can do so Free of Charge
FarmCornwall previously assisted in the delivery of the 1st Year of the Programme which was run in the Launceston area and the 2nd year based around the Penzance area. The programme is being rolled out across the whole country, this year in 2018/19 in MID CORNWALL
Interested in taking part?
We are currently looking for farm businesses to take part in the programme which is open to family farms whose main enterprises are dairy/beef/sheep or pigs. Many of the farms who participate are mixed, with more than one on-farm enterprise, including diversification to help bring in an additional income. The programme is open to both owner occupied and tenanted farms, on conventional or organic systems and the typical farmer is a one or two person system, eg Father Son, Mother Son, Two brothers or just the farmer on his own. Please also make it a family affair the business is about the family so wives, partners, daughters, sons are all welcome. If you are interested in taking part or would like some further information then please contact Edward Richardson on edward@farmcornwall.co.uk or call 07775 667825 or visit http://www.princescountrysidefund.org.uk/farmresilience
