Many city folk long for a quiet life in the country, perhaps growing their own food, collecting eggs from the chook pen, perhaps having a milking cow or goat, and maybe breeding a few alpacas to shear – and have the fleece spun up for a warm winter garment.  Some of us yearn for spending time riding a horse, or maybe putting a packsaddle on your llama and going bushwalking or going on a picnic.  Perhaps riding in a jogger (cart) pulled by a llama or donkey is more to your liking.

But not everyone can break the city ties and become country dwellers. 

We may feel that a farm lifestyle will need to wait until retirement, or until the children are old enough to arrange their own transport.

You don’t have to wait! And you don’t have to leave your suburban home either!

You could  raise livestock in suburbia, board your livestock on a nearby farm, or maybe try out farming by leasing a block of land on which you can graze livestock.  Perhaps you could rent out your suburban home and rent a country home.

The Urban Farmer workshop offers options to the city dweller who isn’t ready to permanently commit to rural living.

Please wear comfortable outdoor clothing, shoes and hat, and bring a notebook & pen, and a camera if you like.  Morning tea and Lunch are included.
