Courses in traditional sustainable farming, ancient husbandry skills and growing your own food using natural methods.
The Husbandry School is just outside Ashburton, Devon and is set on a stunning hilltop location over looking the hills of Dartmoor. We teach ancient husbandry skills, traditional sustainable farming, land management, growing your own food courses as well as traditional crafts. We have just launched our fabulous new website and our exciting year ahead programme of new courses and events.
Courses
Coming up we have Introductory & Foundation courses in Husbandry Skills and such delights as Eat your Flower Beds where you can learn to identify, grow and cook with edible flowers. Garden Remedies and Allotment Allies explore companion planting, plants for liquid feeds and tonics, soil care and even inventive ways to deter slugs! Dirt to Dinner teaches you how to create and maintain a productive vegetable and flower garden and bring some more unusual things to your dinner table. There are also some traditional Earth Skills courses including Basket Weaving, Stone Walling, Hedge Laying and Wood Working. Courses are taught by Carole and Jonty Williams and their team of experienced tutors.
Volunteering
We have volunteer days every month and March volunteer days are all about getting ready for the spring season, preparing the ground for an amazing harvest and helping to build a new well garden. Get in touch if you would like to join in.
About Husbandry
Husbandry is an honourable, ancient art which we believe will play a vital role in the transition we all must make towards a sustainable future - for towns, for agriculture, and the planet as a whole. The Husbandry School is an an experimental learning centre where anyone who wishes can be involved in re-learning the most ancient of skills - looking after the ground which looks after us.
