FARMERS from the Yorkshire Dales crossed the border into Lancashire to find out how one farm is caring not only for nature but for people as well.
The Clapham-based Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) arranged the visit to Gazegill Organics Farm, near Clitheroe, through the Dales Farmers in Education project, to learn about the potential to utilise farms for educational and therapeutic purposes, and as a means of strengthening the connection between people and nature.
The visitors spoke to farmers Emma Robinson and Ian O’Reilly who rear a selection of traditional and indigenous breeds of sheep, pigs and cows which are well suited to their low input, low impact attitude to agriculture.
