Hello

Please find below information about a free event we have organised to help rural social and community organisations in the South West through inspiration and information, support and advice.

I would be very grateful if you could forward the link and info given below to any organisations you are working with who might be interested in this opportunity.

20th October, Five Penny Farm, Dorset

Survive and Thrive has organised a half day visit to Five Penny Farm in Dorset to find out how they are leading the way in providing good quality organic food to their local community at affordable prices whilst building capacity in other small food producers.

The day will include a tour of the farm and the co-operative-owned processing barn, a talk by the host, Jyoti Fernandes about how she and her husband started the enterprise and time for questions. A light lunch with time for networking will end the day.
