Learn more about organic growing through our courses. Whether you are setting up your own garden or looking to start a business, this course will help you understand the principles and practices of organic food production. We run a basic weekend course that introduces organic growing including crop diversity, fertility building, rotations and maintaining natural habitats. Additionally, we also do specialist courses from that look in more depth at subjects like making compost.

This day-long course looks at what it takes to be a sustainable farmer and grower. If sustainable farming is something that interests you, this course will give you a chance to learn about what it takes to be a farmer, how to develop the skills needed to farm well, different models for acquiring land to farm, farm diversification and how to finance your venture. Run by Troed y Rhiw partners, Alicia Miller and Nathan Richards, it will offer some frank talk and insight into running a small-scale sustainable farm and point you towards organisations and initiatives that will help support your venture.
