Today Im off to Southton smallholding where I have been involved for three years (4 summers).

I am currently a volunteer, one day a week, at the SouthtonSmallholding at the Bield Blackruthven. Its environment is extended to people who have experienced long-term unemployment through learning disabilities by offering supported employment in a smallholding setting - growing herbs and vegetables on organic principles and keeping hens, ducks, geese and sheep. Produce is sold via a box scheme maintained by the smallholding team. Work includes gardening, tending animals, innovating from recycled materials, craft-making etc.
