Having spent the last 5 years refining pastured layers in an Irish context at Heather Hill Farm, we have designed this training with all the success and failures woven in, to give you a very realistic view of what is involved when it comes to time required, investment required, benefits to the soil and your land & the profitability of this enterprise. With pastured layers being one of the most profitable enterprises on our farm we formed this training into a one day intensive training to create the best value for our participants. The training will run on two separate occasions to give some flexibility the first training is available on May 6th and the second is July 15th.

 

 

Training runs from 9am-5pm, there will be a farm tour and lunch provided as well as tea and coffee throughout the day. The training is split between classroom and hands on, so bring materials for taking notes as well as boots and wet gear in case of poor weather.

"This training is easily the best investment I have made as I start my regenerative agriculture journey. Cathal has spent countless hours fine tuning his systems & methods and it's great to get this head start on my own projects. His breadth of knowledge and ability to articulate ideas & information made it really valuable. This was the first hands on experience I have had with pastured poultry, and it's given me a massive confidence boost. I really feel empowered to take on my own enterprises now. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering a pastured poultry enterprise of their own."
