Show Notes
This week, we’re back with farming champion, Abby Allen and her latest book, The Farm Kitchen.
Abby was, until recently, the face of Piper’s Farm, the online farm shop which brought together the best farmers and producers in the South West. Her passion in creating a resilient food and farming system to food lovers across the Uk now comes from a new company, Pipers and co, run by Abby and husband Will which continues to build a network of farmers and producers who do the right thing by the soil, the planet, the animals and us.
And all while she’s been growing a whole new human called Olivia. Gilly begins by finding out how the mothering is going.
