The purpose of our websites is to help people learn how to grow their own food, organically.

We do this in several ways:

1. I wrote a book called “Growing Healthy”. When I started writing it my intention was to create a textbook for our face-to-face training course. As the book progressed a different focus emerged i.e. an emphasis on the business side of growing food covering the planning, marketing and finance (revenue & expenditure, capital needed etc.). There are also several chapters on the comparative profitability of the many crops—vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries and herbs.
2. Our face to face training courses; the normal format of these is that they are run in the evenings and at the weekend. The emphasis is on learning by doing with some practical work and we also use our farm as a demonstration model—we grow and sell over 60 different crops.
3. Because not everyone can readily come to our property in the evenings and weekends we decided on three more formats. Firstly we created a much more detailed training program with 12 monthly lessons each with videos to show how each step is done, so that our course is available throughout the world thanks to the miracle of the Internet. See www.healthygardenfood.com .
4. Secondly, we plan to build a residential training centre on our property so that people can come and stay here and learn by a mixture of doing, demonstration together with some classroom work. We have recently received development approval to build the training centre and hope work on the centre will start soon.
5. Thirdly, we now offer to do consulting work. This usually entails us visiting your property to provide specific advice and recommendations. You can reach us via the “Contact Us” pages of our websites.
