Where does your recycling go?
Another unusual farm diversification project…but Chris and Simon Mountain’s East Midlands waste management and recycling centre has been so successful that they now rent out the family farm and have essentially diversified out of farming all together.

A Day on a Mixed Farm
Exactly midway through our tour, we spent the day ‘helping’ Christina’s friend’s brother on his mixed farm in Priors Hardwick, Warwickshire.

A gamey point-to-point
We had a great day out at the Charing Point-to-Point in Kent on April 7th, when we shared a stand with Mark Gilchrist from Game for Everything. Luckily for us, we went down the night before and Marky Mark made us dinner – that boy really knows how to cook! Mark had sorted us out… Continue reading A gamey point-to-point
