This workshop has been developed in response to the numerous requests I have had from people who have read the books and are ready to get started or just want to see what pig-keeping is like in practice. It has also been developed with families in mind where you want the whole family to be involved in your piggy adventure!  We’ll answer all those questions you wanted to ask and even those you had never thought of!

The workshop is run for individuals, couples or friends and family groups and is a chance to ask more personal questions and perhaps for us to look together at how you could set up your garden/land and what you need to do next. You should leave this course feeling inspired and more confident to get going with your pig project.
