'Green Friday', Young people growing food for the future + Events this month

Green Friday

The inevitability of mid-winter and the Christmas season is around the corner. Green Friday on 29th November, an antidote to Black Friday, can remind us to shop more sustainably, support local businesses, visit craft fairs and support local artists. £20 spent at a craft fair goes a long way to supporting local makers and great way to meet our communities.

Tilly and Charlie tell us about their food growing business in our latest blog.

Spotlight on...The Forest Smallholding

The Forest Smallholding resides at 1000ft elevation at the head of a quiet valley deep at Bleddfa in the Radnor Forest in Wales.

Thier mutton is produced from a 'closed flock' built up over the past 15 years and the sheep are born and remain in the same location for their entire life which can be up to 8 years and beyond in some cases. None of the pastures have ever had any fertilisers or pesticide or herbicides applied. 

The young sheep stay with their mothers permanently and wean naturally but normally stay as a family group forever. The meat produced has nothing added to it at all and the 'meat-miles' is only 34 per animal. The environmental impact of producing our mutton could not be less.
