Hi all,

We've received this from Hayley at Kindling Farm, and she's said I can pass it on to see if anyone is interested. Feel free to contact her directly if so.

Thanks,

Hi Sean and thanks for getting back to us :) Yes please feel free to share my details in the Google group. We haven't set a date yet but to start with, it would be good to know if there is interest. 

Thanks a lot, Hayley

Hi Hayley,

Thanks for getting in touch. I'm probably not best placed to answer this, as I have none of the skills you're looking for! However, I didn't want you to think we'd missed your email.

It certainly sounds interesting, and, as you've already worked with some of our members before, it might be that they will have the most input into this. Mike Gorman is on this email address too, so hopefully he'll pick it up and respond.

If there is any delay, I can always push it out to our wider community via our Google Group. If this ends up being the case, are you happy for me to include your contact details so tat people can get in touch?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi DoES Liverpool team, my name is Hayley and I am the Community Engagement Worker at Kindling Farm. We're an organic fruit & veg farm with the aim of creating a fairer and more sustainable food and farming system. In April 2023, we purchased a 78 acre farm in Tarbock Green, Knowsley where we will research, explore, practice and demonstrate the best way to farm for wildlife, climate change, soil and communities.

On a couple of occasions, we've used the hot desks at DoES and we hold regular garden tool repair workshops with Mike & Mike who I know are based there too. 

We are in the process of developing infrastructure and facilities here and wondered if there might be any scope to collaborate with DoES Liverpool on this? We are looking to set up wifi in our fields, fit solar lights in the compost loos, install cameras at our entrance, set up the drone, and more! We thought that DoES members might have this kind of skill set and might be interested in helping us out, what do you think?

Perhaps we could set up a call/ arrange for you to visit and chat in more detail? 

Looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Hayley
