About the event

We are excited to announce the launch of our exclusive Soil Health Cluster, a unique opportunity for farmers like you to come together, share experiences, and learn from each other, as well as from expert guest speakers.

In this cluster, we aim to create a supportive community where farmers meet in a relaxed environment to collaborate, exchange insights, and delve into the crucial topic of soil health. Our carefully curated sessions will cover a range of topics, from sustainable farming practices to understanding soil biology and grazing management techniques to composting and alternative inputs.

Why should you join?

1. Community Connection: Connect with like-minded farmers who share your passion for learning about soil health.

2. Knowledge Exchange: Benefit from the collective wisdom of the group and gain valuable insights from experienced guest speakers.

3. Practical Strategies: Acquire actionable strategies to enhance your soil health and optimise your farming practices.

4. Guest Speakers: Learn from industry experts who will share their expertise on the latest developments in soil health, farming carbon and more.

Our first session will be Monday 19th February at 7.30pm Garvin's Hotel Bar, Castledawson. Seating is limited to 30, so booking is essential.

In the first session we will get to know the group better and gather topics you most want to learn and discuss, we will use this to plan future meet ups and arrange relevant speakers.

To secure your spot, simply book online now.
