Running an organic small holding.

 
Feb 1st, Friends Meeting House, 12 Jesus Lane, Cambridge, CB5 8BA  7:30-9:30
 
Our speaker this month will be Simon Saggers of the amazing Guilden Gate organic smallholding, who will talk about how they've built a self sufficient small holding near Bassingbourn....in just 10 years. Guilden Gate includes a mixed organic small holding, an eco cottage with passive solar and a wind turbine, reed bed water treatment and woodland. They supply organic vegetable boxes to the local area, offer guided tours and consultancy on a range of planning, smallholding, energy and water projects
Simon will share what they've done and talk about how they've come up with something that "all fits together":  principle that will be important for quite a few Green entrepreneurs.  His talk will be followed by discussion and an opportunity to explore areas of interest in more detail in small groups
 
We'll continue in the Maypole pub afterwards
