The Farmer Network has secured funding from the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority's Farming in Protected Landscapes programme to deliver three Whole Farm Approach groups across the Yorkshire Dales. Designed by local farmers for local farmers, the programme offers practical workshops, peer support, and one-to-one advice to help businesses navigate rising costs, policy changes, environmental schemes, and future opportunities. Most importantly, it provides a chance to meet with neighbours, share experiences, and plan positively for the future.
- 9 November - Managing Environmental Schemes with Hannah Fawcett (YDNPA)
- 15 December - Future-Proofing Your Farm with Simon Haley and Rachael Raw (SRH Agribusiness)
- 11 January - Animal Health workshop with Davinia Woodhouse (Bainbridge Vets), covering a topic chosen by the group
All participants will also have access to free one-to-one support and advice throughout the programme. If you are interested, please contact Carol Moffat on 07917 666514 for more information.
