Out with Woodland Trust๐ŸŒณ & Plymouth & South Devon Community Forest looking at more places for funded wood pasture. The lovely herd of South Devons demonstrating why that would help them on this hot day #agroforestry #climateadaptation

So if washing doesn't keep pesticides (aka chemicals designed to kill living organisms) out of your food/body what does? Well that would be buying organic, look for Soil Association or OF&G label. theguardian.com/environment/arโ€ฆ

Can you tell which watermelon is going to be disappointing from the outside? Riverford quality control team grappling with a very variable batch. Always happy to lend a hand with a tasting ๐Ÿ˜Š

Lambs love munching on willow! ๐ŸŒฟ Not only is it a tasty treat, contains 11.6% protein but it's packed with cobalt essential for growth, plus it contains tannins - natural anthelmintic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Healthy and happy lambs! ๐Ÿ‘

In some offices finding a dead reptile skin on your desk may not be considered a sign of affection but that's not the case Riverford where a love of wildlife is shared

Itโ€™s that time of year again - tractors all over the land will take to flailing vital food sources in the form of berries along thousands of miles of hedgerows. PLEASE, if you are a landowner or know someone who is, wait until Feb/March & leave natureโ€™s larder for #wildlife ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’

This may or may not end up as sweetcorn for Riverford veg boxes. Cost ยฃ5k to establish and weed, could be worth ยฃ45k but the ears are small and not yet ripe so it all rests on the weather to determine if this field makes or loses money๐Ÿคž

Taking some fellow Riverford co-owners on a bimble around the farm to look at agroforestry this afternoon for our "Learning at Work" week. We came across this, what I think is a harvest mouse nest.
