FANCY a change in direction, or a completely different type of job, then why not learn a little more about being a chestnut producer?
A series of talks providing advice and information is taking place on Friday 11 December in the foyer rural of Villefranche-du-Périgord, running from 14:00 to 17:00.
The meeting will cover how to grow bio chestnuts, the financial side of running an agricultural business, the different products that can be produced and how to reach markets in France and beyond.
The afternoon of advice and information on the chestnut business will finish with a visit to the bio farm of M and Mme Amiguet at Marou, in Villefranche-du-Périgord.
