Our ethos is to share and impart knowlege from a sound knowlege base and to make all training days fun, participatory and enjoyable with as much hands-on practical experience as possible. Courses are run on the farm, but as there is no farmhouse we use the village hall and the local pub for our catering requirements and indoor parts of courses, so we advise participants to wear a boiler-suit or coveralls and wellies for the practical sessions and to bring a change of footwear. We have a large agricultural polytunnel which provides a light, airy and weatherproof venue for sheep-related courses. Visit CassieFlocks.co.uk
