The Netherfield Centre for Sustainable Food and Farming
The Netherfield Centre for Sustainable Food and Farming supports sustainable agriculture and local food production in the Sussex area. It is sited on a working organic demonstration farm and is a joint venture with Plumpton College.
Centre Activities
We run a full programme of courses from "Starting a Beef Herd" to "Diversification: Growing Herbs and Salad Crops." And it's not only for farmers; many different rural skills are also being taught.
We developed the ‘Sussex Breakfast’ in 2007 in cooperation with 1066 Country Marketing and Tourism South East, linking B&Bs with Sussex farmers producing bacon, sausage, egg, milk, and more. Click here to see the expanding list of places to stay and enjoy a local breakfast.
We also arrange for farmers to shadow 'experts' or visit demonstration sites. Farmers and growers are offered advisory visits, telephone or e-mail advice and mentoring, as well as being directed to other farming or environmental advisors.
