Scottish Smallholder Festival 2024



The Farm Advisory Service will be at the Smallholder Festival!

We have biodiversity and habitats, horticulture and polytunnels, soils and rush control and the new Whole Farm Plan, along with talks on how to claim support for the first time, how to use the current scheme to pay for livestock health testing, and a panel session on keeping cattle.

Find us alongside Farming and Water Scotland and the SRUC vets. There are lots of great talks and displays from many organisations and smallholders at this one day event, from managing meadows to keeping sheep, how to do a goat “MOT” and pig models to practise husbandry techniques, food and drink and craft skills. And who would miss the pig agility competition?
