Farm for the future – free support to help your farm business become more resilient
Farm for the Future is a free series of business, environment and one-to-one support sessions for farmers in the High Weald AONB and adjacent areas, delivered by the High Weald AONB Team and the Royal Countryside Fund.
The programme consists of a welcome meeting, two core workshops and one-to-one support. The two workshops will cover business planning and environmentally friendly land management, followed by up to four optional workshops on other topics such as diversification, succession and adding trees to the landscape. There will also be conversations with other land managers, networking, food and the chance of farm walks.
