About the Event
Arrive for coffee & tea, and discussion amongst arable farms from within the cluster sharing their approaches to grain production and markets, both now and in the future. Explore the more traditional routes to market with traders, contracts, and organic certification... versus the arising movement of 'heritage' varieties, 'regenerative' labels and local supply chains.
The event includes a lunch to share bread and celebrate the grains in discussion.
Tours of Matthews Mill and FarmED's cropping rotation will continue in the afternoon and allow more exploration of the themes discussed.
