(MLFW) Community Supported Agriculture - Northern Training Programme
The Soil Association is we are running a series of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) training days over the winter months as part of the ‘Making Local Food Work’ Programme. All these events will take place in Leeds or Sheffield, and are free to CSA practitioners. They are being led by experts in the various fields, and are designed to provide the technical knowledge and confidence to launch or expand your Community-Supported Agriculture project. The first event, Business Planning for CSAs, is being run by Julie White and John Metcalfe, both social enterprise consultants who between them have decades of experience in providing business support to local food enterprises. Whether you already have a business plan or not, this workshop will help your project plan for the future and measure success.
