Friday 15 September 1.00 - 4.30 Achpopuli Farm IV3 8LB
Join us for a visit to Achpopuli Farm, where Landworkers' Alliance member Katharine Sharp uses agroecological farming methods to produce meat, eggs, wool crafts and tallow skin care products which are sold locally.
They are in the early stages of implementing an agroforestry system at Achpopuli Farm, having planted hedges, wood pasture and shelter belts, alongside holistic grazing with 100% pasture-fed sheep and geese.
We’ll also have a walk through Abriachan forest which has been managed by Abriachan Forest Trust since a community buy-out in 1998. You’ll get to see their outdoor classroom, nursery, and some areas of continuous cover forestry and natural regeneration.

It’s time to agree the plan and decide how to realise it
We've reached the exciting moment of deciding the community's priorities, based on all the challenges, aspirations and ideas shared so far.
Come along to one of these two events to agree what should go into the community plan, and to work out how to avoid it sitting on a shelf - including how to reset the relationship between the community and the public sector.
You'll be assured of a warm welcome and plenty of chat and discussion.
After the events, we'll prepare the plan itself and share the draft for a final check.
