Farming

by Josiah Meldrum 1 Comment

US organisation 
Greenhorns
 publishes a journal called The New Farmer’s Almanac biennially. They describe it as:⁣
⁣
“Each Almanac focuses on the most fascinating and relevant issues in evolving agricultural technology, food systems, agroecology, politics, and innovations in sustainability.”⁣
⁣
It really is packed full of wonderful writing and illustration about the culture and practice of farming and living on the land. ⁣
⁣
With a mission to drive agrarian change in America from the grassroots, Greenhorns offers practical support and a voice for those who want to farm ecologically - importantly it also creates a cultural space for agroecology. From a U.K. perspective they’re a kind of hybrid of the communication, advocacy, practical training, networking and cultural work organisations like
Farmerama Radio, 
The Dark Mountain Project
, Land in Our Names, 
Landworkers' Alliance
 carry out.⁣
⁣
Do have a look at the Greenhorns website and pick up a copy of the New Farmer’s Almanac (available from UK booksellers). ⁣
⁣
(Also... we’re very proud to feature in Volume 5 in an article written by Dark Mountain editor Charlotte Du Cann.)

Getting more pulses & grains into British kitchens with Holland & Barrett

by Nick Saltmarsh

We've launched ten pulses and grains from British farms as part of Holland & Barrett's transformation of their food range, available in their stores across the UK.
