Events & workshops
One of the main aims of the Hill Farm Project is to share and disseminate useful information relevant to farm businesses on Dartmoor. We do that in a variety of ways which includes our events and training programme. On this page we list our planned activity over the coming months, we are constantly updating the programme with each season of the year. If you wish to participate please book via the Eventbrite button where applicable, or you can email us for more details at hfp@dartmoor.gov.uk or call the office on 01822 890913.

2025
Upcoming events for the new year will be posted shortly - please sign up for our e-news to keep up to date of announcements using the form on our home page.
We aim to offer a range of topics and interest that are practical and useful, with guest speakers, on-site visits and opportunities to discuss ideas. With the changes being rolled out through the Agricultural Transition and new policy and schemes, we regularly cover these as they emerge alongside other regular subjects including healthy livestock, grant offers, trialling new tech or apps for the farm business and skills training.
​
Events also provide an opportunity to step away from the farm for a few hours.
​
We look forward to seeing you this year.
SHEEP DISCUSSION GROUP
The Sheep Discussion Group is a informal group of progressive farmers who want to make the most of their flock. There are regular meetings covering a range of topics, and all are welcome to join.
The next meeting will be on Thursday 22nd May 10am - 3pm, visiting APHA's Starcross laboratory for discussions on sheep diseases and presentations as well as tour of the facility and a chance for those with strong constitutions to watch a post-mortem.
