So much more than I expected, especially all the ‘hands on’ work. Les made it all very enjoyable and Yaron and Jaquie made the best hosts.

Les has made this fascinating course extremely worthwhile. He is a mine of practical advice and a fund of anecdotes. We have been made really welcome by our engaging hosts Jaquie and Yaron on their fabulous farm.

Totally worth the 2 days taken off of work. Les is great and a fountain of knowledge, and he’s contactable afterwards.
