Hello! I am farmingGeorge. Tune in monthly to hear about the goings-on on my farm in South Essex, UK. I am an agro-ecological farmer, meaning that I am attempting to farm in line with nature as much as possible. I grow combinable crops such as wheat, peas, lentils and buckwheat, and process those crops into flour on site. I also run a pedigree herd of Red Poll cows, and have recently planted 50ac of agroforestry, featuring a great range of fruit & nuts.
Lots going on in this episode: infrastructure projects, the opening up of my wild seam, Open Farm Sunday 2022, plus Groundwell and some exciting personal news...
In this episode, I have lots of issues with my cows and difficult decisions to make, but have a fab time at UK Grain Lab. Plus get to visit three incredible farmers!
In this episode, hear about the disease issues I face with my herd, work in my agroforestry, ecological projects I am working on, plus the Soil Association conference.
