Shownotes Transcript

Many of us gain so much of our knowledge of farming, livestock and produce from all-important city farms, much like the wonderful Mudchute Farm in London, run diligently by fantastic Farm Manager Tom Davis.

Tom has led Mudchute to achieving the Rare Breeds Survival Trust approval, teaches 20-25k kids each and every year, and notably takes sheep to graze on the royal parks. We’ll be hearing about keeping rare breed livestock, how natural grazing leads to beautiful wildflower growth, and more.

In this episode, discover:

  • How you can support the local British farming community and help the return of quality, seasonal produce
  • Mudchute Farm’s educational services to over twenty thousand children and their families
  • Encouraging biodiversity throughout their vast 32 acre farm
  • Tom’s hard work to achieve approval from the Rare Breeds Survival Trust
