Calmer Farmer Hobby Farm Consultant offers a unique approach compared to many agricultural consultants, farm managers, or contractors. Instead of simply assessing your farm and providing instructions, I focus on educating you about every aspect of your farm from the soil up. This empowers you to make confident decisions based on the knowledge you gain through our collaboration. This approach fosters a deeper connection between you and your land, enabling you to become a more productive and intuitive farmer, ultimately saving money.

Personalised Strategy Session
Enhance your farm’s potential with a personalised Strategy Session. During this 90 minute session, I will gain a clear understanding of your farming aspirations. Together, we can establish attainable short-term goals and objectives, bringing you closer to realising your farming dreams. I will provide you with a comprehensive post-session report, offering valuable recommendations to address any long-term concerns or issues you may have regarding your farming endeavours.
Consultancy
This 12 month program begins with a full property report of your farm’s initial resources, to help you to understand exactly what your property does (and doesn’t) have. This is followed by a series of intensive planning sessions to discuss what you want to achieve. These are all conducted at your farm, at times that suits you.
Then comes the fun bit – getting outside and learning those practical skills that YOU need to see your farm grow. By the end of 12 months, you will have a deep understanding of exactly what your farm is capable of achieving; made visible improvements to the way you run your farm, and a clear vision of where you want your farm to go. A six month program is now also available, focusing more heavily on understanding your farm’s resources, and developing a working farm plan.
Mentoring
Farm mentoring is available for new farmers seeking reliable guidance from an experienced, impartial mentor with no hidden agendas. Through regular one-on-one sessions, we’ll discuss your farm’s issues and concerns and work together to address them. I take the time to understand your unique goals, ensuring the advice and support you receive are tailored specifically to your needs, no matter where you are on your farming journey. This personalized approach not only helps you overcome challenges but also fosters a deeper understanding of your farm’s potential. By building your confidence and skills, we pave the way for a successful and sustainable farming future.
