The Husbandry School is a Devon based venture, focusing on the practical application of Husbandry and agroecology on 49 acres of land near Ashburton. Husbandry itself is an ancient word which means nothing less than 'the care and management of nature and the resources of living.' At our project we use the land as an experimental learning centre to illustrate Husbandry in action. We consider the whole ecology of our land as we care for it, in the aim of creating a sustainable, resilient and low input system. Here on our fields, we use the waste from our livestock for fertility building, we rebuild our hedge banks and ditches to collect rainwater and we capture the energy of the elements to provide us with power. We grow two acres of vegetables, fruit and flowers and keep a variety of livestock, supplying local people, shops and passionate chefs with ecologically produced food. The land and our low impact house and school buildings are used everyday by our re-engage re-inspire students. These are school aged children that join us for long term therapeutic education placements where they engage with outdoor learning through a programme of animal care, land work and horticulture. As well as this, we run an extensive adult course programme, teaching ancient skills of rural craft and traditional land management.
