Upcoming Courses
We have teamed up with Humanitix to facilitate the bookings for the courses. Through the sale of tickets, Humanitix donates funds towards educational programs for children in need.
Courses are conducted at our Learning Centre located in an old stone barn, now outfitted with modern teaching equipment.
The Centre is serviced by a state-of-the-art composting toilet and reedbed system and other environmentally responsible structures include passive-solar straw-bale accommodation, indoor-outdoor teaching space and coolroom, and a cob oven.
The short courses take advantage of being in the middle of a working property, featuring practicals and field walks.
