David talks to Pete about Wakelyns Farm in Suffolk, a long established diverse agroforestry project of real note in the UK. The farm is small at 23 hectares but is incredibly productive with numerous stacked enterprises - the land managed in collaboration with a wide range of small businesses.
Pete and David discuss how the Wakelyns project uses efficient growing methods, tailoring agroforestry principles for a variety of purposes across the site’s multiple 5-acre plots.
This is a fascinating project which offers inspiration for farmers and food communities of all scales, demonstrating how different techniques can benefit nature and bring people together.
David will be a speaker at the Soil Association / Woodland Trust Agroforestry Show 6th 7th September at Eastbrook farm, Swindon. This is an event really worth supporting!
