Where is all the Dirty Veg?

November 27, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

When was the last time you saw fruit or vegetables with dirt on them in the supermarket? Unless you go to a farm shop, veg comes packaged in cellophane.

10 Ways to Teach Children about Where Their Food Comes From

July 6, 2017 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

I recently read a worrying article in the Farmers Guardian.

July 11, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 3 Comments

There seems to be a rather uncomfortable pattern emerging. When Boo started school last year, I cried for the first two weeks of dropping her off.
