Learning for Growth - FREE Courses

The “Learning for Growth” initiative provides the opportunity for intensive learning on starting and improving a smallholding or becoming self-sufficient in food. The training will cover all aspects of establishing a smallholding, in managing it sustainably using organic methods and thus enabling families to become self-sufficient. This initiative is being funded by the Adult and Community Learning Fund and is offering a FREE place to each family/household as a way to get started.

The courses will be held at The Magdalen Project in conjunction with Somerset Community Food. Somerset Community Food is a grassroots charity established in 2001 which aims to re-connect people with the social, health and environmental effects of growing, buying, preparing and eating local food.’ The Magdalen Project is an environmental education charity based on an organic farm who aims to encourage all to learn new skills and enjoy new experiences whilst developing a more sustainable approach to life.
