During the morning we will have a presentation on the work of the farm, and the principles underlying it, with the opportunity to ask questions.

After lunch we will have a accompanied walk round part of the farm with explanations of the work, the progress we are seeing, and, again, the chance to ask questions of people directly involved in the work.
