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:

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!

As a consequence, people are exceeding daily energy intake requirements because their bodies crave micronutrients. Couple this with food desserts and it's the public health crisis of diet related problems hitting our hospitals.
