The Savour Kilkenny Smallholder Gathering 2016

In conjunction with @SmallholdersIRL & @SmallholdersUK and hosted by Croan Cottages

This year we are delighted to be working with Savour Kilkenny to host the inaugural Smallholders Gathering. This event aims to bring together people interested in the Smallholding life from all over Ireland and the UK.

Over the Savour Kilkenny weekend at the end of October, there will be a number of workshops, demonstrations and discussions covering all aspects of living ‘the Good Life’.

If you are considering a move to the country or dream of producing some of your own food, come along and hear from prominent Smallholders who have built up a wealth of knowledge the hard way – so you don’t have to!

Virtually all of the Discussions, Demonstrations and Workshops are Free of Charge!

More details will be posted on the Savour Kilkenny website.
