On Saturday the 16th March, Macclesfield Landcare Group ran our second farm fencing repair workshop, at Eastwind Rare Breeds Farm, 25 Coopers Road Macclesfield

Our hosts (Christine, Sally, Darren and Nathan) farm endangered breeds of domestic farm livestock and have an extensive electric fence network. Due to storms, trees over fences and the electric fence mains unit blowing up, they were facing a ‘few’ fencing challenges. Fencing experts were on hand to answer questions and to help members with some ideas for their own properties.

• Morning Tea and Lunch were provided (including the famous Black Pig free range sausages!!)

• It was a great opportunity to get learn a bit more about repairing your fences, get some useful tips, and get know people in the area and have a great chat

• Watch out for our next fencing repair workshop

• Christine even shared her tips on talking with pigs……
