Big Farmers
Hello! And welcome :) You have found yourself here because you are interested in joining Farmer Shel at Browns Road Farm.
You've heard of 'Little Farmers' - the farm school for children aged 2-10... well this is now for the Big Farmers! 👩🏼🌾
Women who want to learn on land amongst other women!
Such as how to grow food, care for land, save seeds, start composting, build worm farms, grow seasonally, start owning & maintaining backyard chickens, tend to bee boxes etc.. the topics are endless!
In this short 4 week course, we will meet weekly for 2 hours (11am-1pm) on Mondays through the month of November 2026
With no kids in tow, to get our hands dirty, be outside in the elements and work with Shel to strengthen your knowledge in key areas that will help you go home and start your own 'backyard farm'.
This course is for beginners, no prior knowledge is best! But if you have a strength you would like to bring to share with the group - that is always welcome :)
Please complete this form to the best of your ability, with honest answers only.
6 women will be chosen and will be notified before the first FREE "pilot" course!!
Thankyou and I cant wait to see who joins us for our first Big Farmers! :)
