Live online Off-Grid Living and Self-sufficiency Courses

Would you like to learn skills for sustainable living quickly, live and online?

Next dates coming soon:

With 18 + years experience living the good life on my smallholding in North West England I’ve put together a selection of useful short training courses which I present live online. A bit like a workshop with the aim to give you the knowledge and confidence to apply these skills straight away to the real world.

Courses currently available are:

• Keeping Ducks for eggs

• Small Scale grain growing (Grow your own wheat etc)

• Small Scale sheep Keeping (everything you need to know about keeping a few sheep)

• Pressure canning for beginners (reduce the anxiety about this very useful method of preserving food)

• Off grid electricity an introduction (Get yourself set up with solar, wind, hydro, batteries for off grid power)

• Rural planning permission (an introduction to how the planning permission system works in the UK, what you can and can’t do in the countryside)

plus more to come.

All presented via teams. We will have slides, pictures practical demonstrations (depending on the course) and maybe go mobile and have a virtual visit to the animals etc. Ultimately I hope I can give you the benefit of 18+ years lived experience of what works and how it might help you with your off grid and self sufficient journey. Whether your a beginner, experienced or a dreamer, there is something for everyone. Each course is designed to last approximately 2 hours with plenty of time afterwards for questions and discussion.

I look forward to meeting you,
