A model that cannot be copied is worth nothing. Our sessions are short, practical and run entirely on the farm: you build a compost windrow, sex papaya plants, filter rabbit urine. You leave with the movements, not with a binder.
Those already growing who want out of dependence on bought-in inputs.
Those setting up who need a model that stands up economically from year one.
Groups and cooperatives, with particular emphasis on processing and selling.
Each module runs over one or two days and can be taken on its own. The full path is usually spread over a quarter, at one session a fortnight.
Seed selection, nursery, spacing, transplanting, sexing and thinning. You sex real plants on the demonstration plot.
Mango, avocado, plum and lemon: combining species to spread income and break the pest cycle.
Buildings, stocking, feeding, welfare — and above all how to design the housing so slurry, manure and urine can be collected cleanly.
The most requested module. Building a windrow from scratch, temperature monitoring, turning, and preparing a rabbit-urine dilution.
Drying, jams, fruit pastes and pulp. Workshop hygiene, moisture control, potting and compliant labelling.
Costs, cost price, margin per product, choosing customers, cash-flow calendar and access to finance.
8 to 15 participants
1 or 2 days depending on the module
Entirely on the farm, outdoors
French and English
A technical sheet per module, to take away
A follow-up visit at the participant’s own farm
By the end of the full path, a participant can size their livestock to the area they want to fertilise, build a windrow that actually heats, dose a foliar treatment without scorching the leaves, grade their harvest to the international classes and work out what a kilo of fruit really costs them.
