The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme - apply now!

There are still spaces for farming families to sign up to get FREE business skills training through The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme, organised by The Prince’s Countryside Fund and delivered in Garstang, Lancashire.

Aimed at dairy, beef, and sheep farmers, the Programme helps farming families to make changes to improve their business – 83% of farmers said they have made greater efficiencies because of taking part, and 9 in 10 feel more confident for the future. 

Comprised of a series of workshops delivered by experts, the Programme looks at topics such as practical cost management, business planning, succession and managing your farmed environment. 

Alan, a farmer from Cumbria, who took part in the Programme last year said: “The programme is helping us to achieve our goals of farming full time and growing our business – we’re learning all the time, future-proofing ourselves. With Brexit and everything, this is a time of huge uncertainty, so we need to listen to others and take as much help as we can get.” 

He also said: “I’d definitely recommend taking part. If you’re prepared to move forward, it’s the perfect opportunity. We’re all going to have to get better and smarter with our farms.”
