Young Producer Weekend
Hankham Organics - 12-13th July 2008
Hankham Organics is situated near Pevensey in East Sussex and includes a 1.5 acre glasshouse. A wide variety of traditional and glasshouse crops are grown for a box scheme and wholesale market.
This event is aimed at young and aspiring horticulturists interested in gaining a valuable insight into the workings of a viable commercial organic growing business. Miles Denyer and Peter Dollimore will host the day and their combination of practical and business skills will ensure this is an insightful and informative event. On Sunday morning there will also be the opportunity to have a walk around neighbouring Montague Farm, situated on the Pevensey Marshes (SSSI) and run by Martin and Gundrada Hole who produce and market their own organic lamb and beef. Montague Farm pride themselves on placing the needs of wildlife at the forefront of all that they do and consider themselves conservationists first and foremost.
This is a fantastic opportunity not only to gain valuable technical insight but also a great chance for a social get-together with fellow horticulturists and producers - not to be missed!
Please aim to arrive by 1.30pm on the Saturday. The walk and talk at Hankham will run from approximately 2pm-6.30pm with a break for tea at 4pm. There will also be an evening meal and field space for camping provided. Sunday morning’s farm walk at Montague Farm will run from 10-12am.
Cost: £30 to include farm walks, overnight camping plus evening meal and breakfast.
