We’ve been busy on the farm…
The harvest season has officially begun for our farm team!
We’ve started with our Winter Barley, specifically the KWS Tardis variety. This feed crop will help nourish the livestock of East Anglia. Plus, the straw will be baled for bedding, which will eventually return vital nutrients back to the land as manure. It`s a beautiful cycle of sustainability in action.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue our harvest journey!
