Tap o' Noth Permaculture Design Course

Take a flick through the prospectus for this summer’s Permaculture Design Course, taking place at Tap o’ Noth Permaculture, Scotland, led by Richard Perkins.

This year, Tap o' Noth Permaculture will be stepping up its focus on food production, with the addition of a market garden to provide even more lovely fresh vegetables grown below the Tap. We're also looking into increasing egg production, ranging our hens on pasture and within our areas of woodland. And of course, we do have our amazing Shetland cows now, so who knows what they might bring to the table?

To start with, we intend to sell our produce direct from a farm shop on site, before setting up as a CSA Network UK(Community supported Agriculture) scheme for 2017, finding members to sign up to a regular box of veg and other farm produce. All our produce will be grown using ecologically sound methods and we hope to be able to bring them to you at a fair price.

Cold Room/Root Cellar

We've retrofitted an already cold, north facing room of our cottage to act as a cold storage area for fruits, vegetables, preserves, ferments etc. A place to store our harvests. Light is excluded, the room insulated, a cold air source is piped into the room from outside. The flooring is tiled and we have a marble countertop which stays super cool. The temperature stays around 0°C - 6°C with a humidity reading of between 80 - 95 %Cold Room/Root Cellar
