Event Description
Do you want to live in a greener, more sustainable way? Are you worried about climate change? Do you want to eat more fruit and vegetables? Farlands smallholding in the Peak District includes a large vegetable garden, an orchard, chickens, and bees (and turkeys at Christmas!). My passion is apples and I currently grow over 65 cultivars. In this talk, I will discuss what sustainability is, and ways to eat and live more sustainably.
