The Introduction to Smallholding course will be led by Francis with other local experts contributing throughout on topics like animal husbandry and brewing!
A computer scientist & web developer by training, Francis is a smallholder, gardener, brewer and beekeeper by passion. In early 2000, Francis swapped the big city and a career in IT sales for a rural life. Francis established a small, successful web development company at Croan and so has invaluable experience in how a move to the country can be made sustainable.
When he moved to Croan Francis took on a couple of pigs, an overgrown walled garden and a very steep learning curve. Today Francis enjoys passing on the lessons learned to others dreaming of the ‘Good Life’.
