At our February meeting, on Thursday 21st, we were very pleased to welcome George Danby of Brickyard Farm in Wrangle. George gave us an interesting and informative talk which was well illustrated by his photographic slides. He told us about the history of the farm, the day to day work and all about his interest in nature and conservation.The farm is fully organic and supplies beef to Waitrose and vegetables to
Abel & Cole for their veg boxes.In addition to well-managed trees and hedges there are lakes with wild fish. George demonstrated that efficient and profitable farming is not incompatible with creating and maintaining attractive countryside. We are intending to arrange a visit to Brickyard Farm, probably in the early summer.
The Flower of the Month Competition was won by Pauline Ranson with an iris.
