From 2022 he expanded his offer to customers by introducing courses, workshops, pizza evenings and "Farm to table" dinners.Al offers talks and workshops on sustainability, permaculture and food resilience to companies on their Green days or Sustainability days. Al's approach is to raise awareness, educate and empower people to take positive action by starting to grow their own food, reduce carbon footprint, offset carbon footprint and become more resilient to external changes.www.trigonfarm.co.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/trigonfarmhttps://www.instagram.com/trigonfarm/?hl=enhttps://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g776112-d23589058-Reviews-Trigon_Farm-Holsworthy_Torridge_Devon_England.htmlTo book one of our Talks, Workshops, Podcasts, Articles or Drop-in clinics for your organisation visit https://www.mindbodyconsulting.co.uk/services
