So, this amazing thing just happened.
I’m absolutely thrilled to have won Lakeland Book of the Year 2023 against incredible competition.
Love giving a platform for these voices #Fortyfarms

Thinking about running a small 3-night photo trip to Budapest next year during the Christmas markets ✨📸
5-star stay, great food, relaxed pace, night cruise on the Danube, golden hour magic all over the city.
Who might be interested—no commitment?

@Croftfoot's superb Forty Farms exhibition – which has been touring the country – has come home to Cumbria, at Whitehaven's @TheBeaconMuseum. Another chance to see Amy's photos on the wall.

@NikitaJGarner Looks good on your new coffee table 😊

Total idiots

Every metric shows we are creating problems

Damaging our own farming community and then importing more

Makes zero sense

Tickets still available for my behind the scenes talk at Keswick's Theatre by the Lake on Monday 2nd June.

Lots of trade secrets, funny anecdotes and theatrical models in this entertaining evening - hope to see you there!

Can someone explain to me how we can cheapen food, end farm support, retain domestic food production, have food security and create a more sustainable and nature friendly farming system?

No?

OK thanks

The government is spinning that they are offering a record level of support for British farming

This is CATEGORICALLY UNTRUE

I’m not sure they understand this point…

Let me explain…

Our moronic food system

Ban pesticide products here
Make U.K. products more expensive

Then import cheaper food from foreign farmers produced with the banned pesticides and undermine our farmers

[Amy Bateman FRPS @Croftfoot]

My 2024 calendar is all Herdwick!
From some of my favourite images across the Lakes enjoy this charming breed every day of the year
