Took a bit of time out for a quick walk with the dogs and the woofer to pick some bluebells and wild garlic to make wild garlic butter 😋 pic.twitter.com/d1sSUYQBhZ

Was wondering what you meant. Agree 100%. So often consumers just aren't given the option. As in there's plenty of organic milk available but precious little butter, cream, cheese etc. Why?

Honestly Tom, thanks for the defence but don't bother engaging with him. When you have to resort to insults, you've already lost your argument.

After a shitty morning caused by a cracked horse knocking my gate and ploughing through fencing, pigs all over the place; this arrives. Cotswold Seed grass mixes from a lovely farmer who had excess and offered to send me some. Thanks to Regenerative Farming Facebook group 👍 pic.twitter.com/5CimK8LppT

I just included you because there doesn't seem to be an Irish Wwoof presence on Twitter. I'm going to email them. But I'm sure it's a problem worldwide and maybe something can be done as in they get a black mark against their profile so other hosts know?

On that we can agree, if on nothing else.

Farmers have to take their share of the blame as we all do. At the end of the day facts and figures are undeniable. Unfollowing or blocking is taking the easy way out. Standing up for what you believe is much harder and too few do.

And there you go making the genalisations you accused me of. I talk the talk and walk the walk as you can read on my profile. Laughing at people eating avocados is a bit rich though from farmers using soy.....

When you get good ones they're a godsend. I'm very impressed by the two Germans I've had. They have a great work ethic.

I'm getting very few enquires so far this year. Plus I get no replies or confirmation when I say they can come. Seems vast majority have no manners. I often don't even get notice they're not coming. Very disappointed @WWOOFUK

You could argue endlessly here. Vast lakes of slurry spread on land is killing earthworms and other soil organisms. Grass being grown is a barren ryegrass monoculture, forests unless deciduous same. Grazing done right actually improves ecosystems.......

I wasn't specifically talking about your place, more in general. But where does all the slurry go from hundreds of cows? Where are your bull calves going? On those lorries to Holland? I'm sorry but dairying is losing it's green image rapidly.
