We are so pleased to see farmer and journalist @andrea_meanwell sharing her organic conversion journey in The Guardian. Transitioning a hill farm has historically been a challenge, but for Andrea, the focus is on biodiversity as a public good. By ditching chemicals and prioritising soil health, farms like hers can become hubs for biodiversity and high-quality local food. This is just the beg · 312 likes · 9 comments

What happens when people don't cut their hedgerows? They produce an abundance of hedgerow fruit such as haw berries. Haw berries are from hawthorn trees that grow in hedgerows across the UK. Haws are edible and extremely nutritious. When hedges are cut back they wont produce (much) fruit.
