We have told you before about LEAF (Linking Education and Farming….who thinks of these names eh?) and their important work in educating the public into understanding about the food they eat whilst encouraging farmers to open their farms to visitors, particularly on Open Farm Sunday.
Well they have now issued a progress report, very comprehensive, that re emphasises the importance of care in Agriculture, of sustainable food, of careful use of water, of reducing nitrogen use for fertilizer and of people buying locally and seasonally. The report “Driving Sustainability” is long and detailed but if you want a copy then email us on info@omdfarm.co.uk and we will be delighted to send you a copy.
Meanwhile on Open Farm Sunday, this year on June 9th (the day after Peppa Pig and part of the Starlight Weekend too) we will have special displays and talks on farming in Essex and hope that you too will be enthused. That was almost poetical. But not quite.
