LEICESTERSHIRE
At Manor Farm we have been hosting farm visits for over 13 years with visitors
from local school children to politicians, Women’s Institute groups and
Archaeology groups to farmer co-operatives. Over the years Manor Farm has been
used as a showcase for farm diversification with Manor Farm Feeds, The Rural
Training Centre and Rural Energy. The Rural Training Centre which operated for 7
years has trained a large number of farmers in IT, farm software and
environmental stewardship HLS and ELS schemes. In addition many local residents
benefited from training in IT, photography, flower arranging, bird watching, art
and painting and many other subjects.
