Here are some extracts from emails we have received from some of our students:

Three-day Butchery

“Thanks so so much for the wonderful butchery and charcuterie course this week, I learnt so much and in such an informal and enjoyable way – the perfect balance for this kind of hands-on learning.” Rosie L. November 2011

 

Wild Meats Day

“Just a quick email to say thank you to you and Marc for the excellent day yesterday.  Content of the course was just right and the company of the other attendees was very interest also”. Alison November 2011

“Many thanks for an excellent course last Sunday – the game pie managed to make it back to West Sussex before being consumed!”  Daniel November 2011

Chickens in the Garden

“Thank you so much for your hospitality last Thursday. I really enjoyed the course and learnt so much. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon and I think that it was excellent value for money.” April 2011

Keeping Poultry

“A belated many thanks for an enjoyable and informative poultry day a couple of weeks ago. Have since enjoyed the chicken very much. Hopefully I will be back to try some of your other courses in the future.”

Keeping Pigs

“Just a note to say what a great day we had on your course. The content was perfect to point us in the right direction in planning for our future. We have enjoyed the sausages already and are looking forward to the bacon and we would love to join you on a butchery day at some future date.”

Pigs and Poultry Weekend

“Just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for the weekend, we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was really really good and we cant wait to get started here properly. The weekend was so informative and at the same time enjoyable, I came back feeling like I’d had a holiday! I must tell you, we ate our chicken tonight and it was wonderful. I used a Jamie Oliver recipe with lemon, garlic and thyme and it was heavenly. The legs are a meal in themselves! We notice the website has been updated and there is a reminder of it on there! I really wanted to do him justice and I feel so much happier about the whole process and informed. Your dedication to the welfare of the animals and promotion of healthy organic produce is admirable and re-assuring.”

Smallholder Day

“We attended your smallholding course last weekend, and I wanted to thank you and Sally for making it a thoroughly enjoyable day. We were very impressed with everything we were shown and were able to experience and to add to this, we have just had our roast chuck which was the best chicken we have ever tasted. My children, not known for their enjoyment of food, thought it also the best chicken ever.”

“I just thought I’d send you a short message to thank you for a great day yesterday, it was very informative and you were fantastic hosts.”

The Whole Hog

“I’ve been meaning to send this earlier but have been too busy making pies and sausages! Just a quick note to say how much John and I enjoyed the course and thanks
to you and your colleagues for a really informative couple of days.” April 2011

Pork Butchery and Sausage-making

“Thanks to Dan and Sally for such an interesting and enjoyable day! We learnt a lot and now have many ideas to test.”
