Workshops
If you are on this page then I am guessing that you're considering "making the move" you've got your copy of "Self Sufficiency" by John Seymoor and you're inspired...
Now what?...well that's what we thought, when we started, wouldn't it be great to have somewhere to go and get a feel of what it was all about...Ok it wasn't quite like that, we thought, poo, what do we do now?
That's why we have put these workshops together, we thought we would like to share some of our experience by running a few one day workshops, where you could get a really good feel for the topic or topics of your choice, pick up the basics, and get some hands on experience with animals that you may be considering to raise, you'll get your confidence up and lay down a good foundation, all in what we consider a very nice environment.
And more importantly (for us at least) you'll be contribution to our coffers and allowing us to continue with this lifestyle choice.
Below is a list of one day workshops...click the workshop link that you are interested in and you'll be presented with more details, Emma, Finley and I are always interested in hearing from any likeminded folk If you would like to attend on of these workshops please contact us by e-mailing me at shane@durston.org.uk or by phone on 07810 562891

Making Biodiesel
Workshops will be informal and friendly, no question is "a silly one"...we'll use the whole day and lunch/refreshments will be included within the cost of the workshop which we can run in small groups or on an individual basis.
We are genuinely looking forward to sharing some of our experiences/knowledge with you.
We have also been asked if we would run "guided tours"...we are more than happy to provide this service, please e-mail me to arrange suitable times.
