We’ve just got back from a magical and mountainous few days at ORFC in the Field at Henbant ✨🗻

Over 40 new connections made, four amazing workshops (from rare poultry and biofertilisers to livestock system design), countless delicious meals, and one fact-packed farm tour… our hearts and minds are full of all things permaculture, people and poultry!

‘It gives me a lot hope,’ one participant reflects. ‘I’ve seen it happen, I know that there are places like Henbant where people are doing cool things, we can come here to learn and we can go off and do our own cool things.’

Find out more about our two days on Henbant’s 80-acre permaculture farm through our blog on our website:

Awesome to hear Andy Dibben of Abbey Home Farm discussing agroforestry on Farming Today. An amazing example of how trees not only provide crops but also wind protection, water retention, wildlife habitat…the list goes on! 🌳🪾🌲

Andy is also ORFC Farm Practice Adviser - his support is crucial in making sure ORFC showcases the diversity, energy and innovation of farm practice in the UK and beyond 🌱
