Toots Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I have recently beel looking into landshare to grow some veg. I foung a farm shop near me that had 7 achers that they were willing to let others use! It got even better they had 20 bee hives that they wanted someone to help with.. I am just getting into beekeeing!! then the best part. The had a flock of girls that they wanted someone to help with.. ie free chickens, space, chicken food etc with out the further death of my lawn/mud patch Contacted them to get a space and let them know i could help every where!!! they have gone bust! the shop is up for lease but no chickens, bees or even a lone pea! oh well keep looking!

Chucky Mama Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Is there a possibility that someone may take on the lease and offer a similar thing? Might be worth registering your interest early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I am going to keep an eye on the place just to see but until i know who is taking it on there is no way to redgiser i want to help them with that plot. I have added a Helper tag to the landshare scheme about bees and chickens but nothing so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
