Initial Meeting of Food & Fuel Working Group

12 February 2013 16:00 - 12 February 2013 18:30

Venue: Mountfield, Bridport, Dorset, DT6 3JP, in the Committee Room on the ground floor.

The focus for the initial meeting will be a training session delivered by the Community Land Advisory Service.
The session will focus on negotiating leases and licences, including preparing Heads of Terms and management agreements.
The training will take approximately 2 hours, and we will then have 30 minutes to discuss a work programme for the Food & Fuel Working Group, running up to the Bridport Local Food Conference in June.

There will be 3 key areas of focus:
- the development of the woodfuel co-op;
- the development of a business plan for purchase of land (to produce food and fuel);
- the development of a feasibility study into a food co-op / multi-farm CSA project.
You do not need to be involved in all three areas!

Please contact Tim Crabtree  if you will be attending, so he can arrange tea and biscuits.

When the north wind doth blow...

Margaret Finlay: It’s not just dairy cattle here at Rainton, we also have a flock of about 500 sheep, mostly Scotch Mule ewes - a cross between a Scottish Blackface ewe and a Blue Faced Leicester tup. The crossbred ewe is supposed to embody the best bits of the each breed - hardiness and good natural mothering, and prolificness with good milk production respectively. The southwest of Scotland where the farm is located, is generally accepted to have a ‘maritime’ climate, with cool summers and mild winters - warmer and wetter than the east is a common description. Not this March.
