Fantastic news, we have now raised the first £100,000 to save the community spaces at Babbinswood Farm by buying the farm and renting some of it back to the farmers. You can buy a share in this fantastic community project here: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-babbi...

What an amazing experience! We hold truly hybrid board meetings. Some directors meet up, several join online, and this week Casha was in the barn (with laptop) and we watched as a new-born calf shakily stood up and had her first taste of milk. A meeting I shall never forget!

Thank you @bbcnews.bsky.social Casha, the cows and the CBS are in the BBC news!! 😁 See the article here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
