Social Farming Project Information Evening

Social Farming Project

Information Evening
Avondhu Blackwater Partnership CLG, The Mill, Castletownroche, Co Cork
Tuesday 25th February 2020 at 7pm

Avondhu Blackwater Partnership are seeking farmers to register their interest in becoming hosts on a pilot Social Farming project in County Cork. Participants are invited from all types of farms including suckler and dairy herds, equestrian, tillage, goats, sheep and many mixed farm enterprises.

Social farming creates the opportunity to reconnect farmers with their local communities through opening up of their farms as a community based support for a range of people with many different needs. There are a number of benefits to farmers who have participated in Social Farming projects which includes a strong sense of personal satisfaction from seeing the difference in participant’s lives and the development of new friendships and connections which helps to reduce isolation that can be a difficulty faced by many farmers.

To Register for the information evening or for further information please contact:
