Today's stakeholder day in Newnham was a huge success, looking at a purpose built organic dairy with a big focus on soil health, efficiency & biodiversity. Not pictured: the sounds of millions of insects in the species-rich grasses on the hill

We couldn't have asked for better weather for our farm walk at @OverFarmMarket. Incredible to see the huge number of different diversifications, and even more so to see the appetite to try out new things
