Lunch and refreshments are provided throughout the day and there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. 

Our aim is to encourage questions, personal observations and comments to the group – the more you put in the more you get out! In the afternoon will be a farm walk to meet the pig/s on site where a discussion on either a previous topic eg: handling/ accommodation can continue or the host farm may speak regarding the animals and share tips. (Please bring some clean/disinfected outdoor clothing
