Another month of biblical rainfall demonstrates the significance of soil health in the face of this exceptional period of time. This year with my ambition to become a better advocate for regenerative farming I will be focusing on evidencing the efficacy of interventions that deliver on improved soil health and compaction. I have been working hard and joining my children on their journey of learning as I took myself back to school to take part in a Soil Advocate Training course, I have found it fascinating and an extremely comprehensive introduction to regeneration. I hope that what I have learn …

Burns Night Recipe Idea – Iron Bru Ham!

It’s Burns Night next week, on Thursday 25th January, and Burns Supper is a tradition we enjoy. Not everyone likes Haggis though, so we went on a mission to find a good Scottish recipe using our delicious pasture fed pork instead. We stumbled across the brilliant blog ‘Foodie Quine – Edible Scottish Adventures by Claire Jessiman’ and found this ‘phenomenally popular’ recipe which we thought was brilliant – Iron Bru Ham! For the Ham 2 kilograms mild-cure gammon joint 1 onion (peeled and quartered) 2 litres Irn Bru For the Glaze 2 Tbsp Marmalade 1 Tbsp Whisky 2 Tbsp Wholegrain Mustard 2 Tbsp d …

May recap from Luke

This time of year is great, all the panic about no grass for the livestock and too much rain seems a distant memory.  The sun is shining, I am sitting at home in a a field amongst the long grass and I am full of love and hope. I certainly have moments when it feels like we are fighting a hopeless battle with my journey with food and farming and it’s events like Fire in your Soul, which give strength for these moments.
