... a unique opportunity for diversification

Feather Down Farm Days......a unique opportunity for rural diversification.
Farmers: If you are a farmer and live in an unspoilt rural location, joining Feather Down Farm Days could give you an excellent opportunity for diversification and a "natural fit" for farmers who wish to safeguard our countryside.

At Feather Down Farm Days we offer a unique and appealing formula for high- quality family holidays on working farms providing luxury tented accommodation. Each working farm is unique ranging from dairy, organic, rare breeds , sheep to beef.

Feather Down Farm Days- our main considerations
The traditional role of the farmer is under threat due to the economic instability and the negative prospect facing many of their farms.
Across Europe there is a growing necessityin the small and mid-scale agricultural sector to gain additional income through the diversification of activities. An income of £12,500 per annum across Europe is the norm rather than the exception.
There is a move away from mass market "fun-packed" holidays. Many families are now looking for holidays with a genuine educational value.

Who are our customers?
Our target group are double-income educated families with children between 2-15 years. This group are high consumers, and are very aware of their surroundings. Our customers consciously seek out small- scale tourism in picturesque rural settings.

Farmers, ask yourself these questions:
- are you a small / mid-scale farmer on a genuine working farm with livestock in an unspoilt beautiful rural setting?
-are you looking for a diversification opportunity which generates a serious additional income (in many cases, there is the potential to equal your agricultural income)?
- do you have space for 5-10 tents (5m widex9m longx3m high) which could merge into the environment under trees or let into a hedge?
- do you have a genuine desire to pass on your knowledge of farming and the countryside to our customers enabling them to be part of daily farm life?
- are you passionate about preserving the long-term sustainable future of the countryside?

If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions then FDFD could be an ideal opportunity for you. Please send an e-mail with a brief description of you, your farm and your location to : info@featherdown.co.uk or call 07525 027601.
