****Change of ownership at Ragmans Farm***

After 33 years I am stepping back from Ragmans Farm and handing over to the Ecological Land Coop. Read all about it here. 

Ragmans Farm is a 60 acre organic farm in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. We use farming practices that regenerate the land, using permaculture and organic agriculture as a guiding design principle. We run courses educating people to work the land sustainably, giving them the opportunity to 'learn on the job'. We are piloting innovative approaches to land share, with The Willowbank, Market Garden, and Bees for Development.

  • Grow Your Own Firewood Day Course

    27th November 2022 at Ragmans Lane Farm

    10.30am to 4.30pm

    Everything you need to know about growing your own willow firewood.

    Based on our experience of growing and using our own firewood here at Ragmans Lane Farm, we will show you our plantations and systems and discuss how they can be transposed into your situation.

    The emphasis of this day will be on the practicalities. Over the day we will cover site selection, suitable willow varieties, planting, pest control, harvesting, storage and types of stove.

    By the end of the course each participant will be able to design, establish and harvest their own 5 year rotation Firewood Growing System.

    Participants will receive handouts with instructions and diagrams to take home.

    Teas, coffee and biscuits will be provided, plus hot soup and roll for lunch.

    Cost £75
