April update from Luke

Spring has sprung in the Chew Valley. With the grass starting to grow thank goodness, it’s time to plan out the grazing season. It feels like the latest we have ever let cows out but the sight of letting them loose and seeing them all run wild, kicking their back legs up with such joyous enthusiasm never fails to bring a little joy to your own heart. This week we celebrate Earth Day and we’re bringing you stories of hope, connection, resilience and regeneration, just as Mother Nature would want it. As stewards of our grasslands, we know how critical these landscapes are for maintaining a he …

March update from Luke

Introducing our ‘Meat Share’ Program & a new cooking over fire event! It’s been a while since I’ve written an update. It’s been on my mind for sometime now, should I do more blog posts? Well I am going to pull the trigger to give myself a platform to share my meat related issues and share some insight to the meat world after having been involved in it for some 20 years now. I promised myself that the posts won’t be too long and will be kept in a tidy, concise stream of consciousness, at least that is the hope. So, dear reader, my hope is that you’ll follow along as I make my way through some …

Support Regenuary

Regenuary is a movement to change the over-simplistic story which stems from Veganuary saying that ‘all animal agriculture always has a greater negative impact than any plant-based agriculture’, as this is far from true. Instead, we want the focus to be adjusted to the importance of Regenerative Farming, or Regenerative Agriculture. Regenerative Agriculture is a type of farming that has a positive effect on the land. It’s an incredible way to restore biodiversity, stabilise the climate & produce healthy food. But what does it involve? Regenerative Agriculture is quite simple: it …

Of Monibot and Myth

I am trying to make some sense of a new book by Geore Monbiot’s, Regenesis and  this link  which is an article on pasture raised beef being the most damaging of farm products.   As I write this I would hate for my forefathers to think i am belittling their way of farming because i am not, they were great farmers following a system that was rewarding them for growing as much as they could and supporting the nation. I like to think we farm for the future, I have 3 children and spend a lot of my time thinking about ways to reduce global warming and improve their future. I believe the way in which we …

Four Reasons You Should Always Choose Pasture For Life Beef

When I first started The Story in 2006, I had no idea it would take this long for people to realise that mass produced big Ag that harms the world, destroys the land, preventing future generations from growing nutritious crops would still be the mainstay of products on the shelves and a reason behind the current pandemic. People often ask whether it really makes that big of a difference – the answer is that it really does! There are scientific reasons for it that we understand, and there are ecosystem reasons because when animals are raised in the right environment, they actually build new soil …

Regenerative Farming

Regenerative Farming describes farming and grazing practices that, among other benefits, reverse climate change. We believe in farming organically and regeneratively – by working in harmony with nature to look after the soil and the pastures, which in turn is reflected in the welfare of our animals and the taste of our produce. ​ monperatoto situs toto situs togel monperatoto monperatoto monperatoto monperatoto monperatoto monperatoto slot gacor Our cattle spend most of the year grazing in the fields, only spending the worst winter months inside where they are fed solely on home grown hay and silage …
