SOIL IS THE STRATEGY.
Farming Network
Good ideas rarely stay in one place.
Over the years we’ve learned a huge amount from farmers, researchers, rural businesses, entrepreneurs and the occasional brilliant troublemaker who asks awkward questions about how things really work.
This page highlights some of the people, farms, organisations and businesses we learn from, work with, or simply admire.
Some are neighbours.
Some are further afield.
All are thinking seriously about soil, food and the future of how we live and farm.
If you enjoy following life at Lower Blakemere, these are good people and ideas to explore too.
