    We've received a lot of questions about the methane reducing feed additive Bovaer. It's not permitted in organic farming and won't be used anywhere in our supply chain. For more information, see below. ⬇️

    It'd be the worst time: late April/May is the hungry gap, when the winter crops have finished & summer crops aren't yet ready. We have so little ready to harvest that we have to temporarily stop our UK Only veg box, because we often don't have 8 British vegetables to fill it with

    Replying to @singharj
    We'll still have food, says a senior Leaver: “We won’t be able to get certain foods like bananas or tomatoes but it’s not like we won’t be able to eat. And we’ll be leaving at a time when British produce is beginning to come into season so it’s the best possible time to leave.”

    Incredible scenes in Sicily, captured by Pietros, an organic blood orange farmer. Mount Etna is very important to Sicilians, who say that Etna's mood is their mood 🌋

    It’s debate day in parliament for our #GetFairAboutFarming petition. We’ve brought 49 scarecrows with us, representing the 49% of farmers who fear they’ll go out of business in the next 12 months. Is this the day we start to see some seeds of change ? It couldn’t be more urgent🌱

    British farming needs your help. Farmers are leaving the business - supermarket behaviour is a leading cause. We're calling for change & asking supermarkets to get fair about farming. Help save British family farms by signing the petition: getfairaboutfarming.co.uk.

    According to Hugh’s #WarOnPlastic, it’s up to 42% more expensive in the supermarkets to buy fruit & veg loose, compared the equivalent in plastic packaging - this is environmental madness. We need to cut pointless plastic &encourage citizens to choose the most sustainable option.

    So frustrating. 13 of the 36 are considered 'highly hazardous pesticides'. 4 are highly toxic to bees, 1 contaminates water and 1 is highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Nature is in decline, we need to act, not lag behind!

    We had some unexpected guests returned accidentally in a veg box last week... Before returning them to their rightful owner we thought we'd give them a little tour of the farm!
