Work for a meat box?
We always need help on our organic farm.
If you have time and are happy to work in exchange for one of our fresh beef or lamb boxes or perhaps a goose, then email us at Cottage.Farm@tiscali.co.uk.
See http://www.transitionnc.org/?q=node/45/22#comment-22 for details of the meat boxes on offer.
We offer an effective rate of £6/hour. The type of work includes: all kinds of agricultural work, helping with fencing, finishing work on a new barn, electric work and/or advice, bricklaying or other general work around the farm.
Btw, did you know that organically reared cattle produce only 40% of the Methane that corn-fed cattle do? Ours are of course organic and almost 100% grass fed, i.e. very little supplementary fodder.
Did you know that Cottage Farm has become Carbon Neutral farm, one of the first in Cornwall. All our electricity, space heating and water heating is powered by our own renewable energy. Even the delivery of our meat boxes is Carbon free as we use home-produced bio-diesel made from waste vegetable oil for all our travel, including free deliveries to your door.
Great way to look after the planet.
