SUMMARY:Farm Walk and BBQ
DESCRIPTION:It may not feel like summer yet but in a few weeks’ time we will be having our Annual Farm Walk and B B Q kindly hosted this year by Boxford Suffolk Farms\, Hill Farm\, Brick Kiln Hill\, BOXFORD\, Suffolk. CO10 5NY. Commencing at 5.00 p.m. on Thursday 9th May. \nThe “Boxford Group” of companies includes Boxford Farms\, Peake Fruit – where they store\, pack and market their own fruit\, and the beautiful Stoke by Nayland Hotel\, Golf & Spa. The Peake family were pioneering entrepreneurs who diversified to succeed. They created Copella apple juice in 1969 by using their small and uneven shaped fruit. This business as it grew was later sold to Tropicana UK in 1997. Bill and Devora Peake also created two championship golf courses and a clubhouse in the 1970s\, which has since been developed by the next generation into the Stoke by Nayland Resort. \nWhat’s grown on Boxford Farms \nOn a branch\, on a plant\, or in the ground. They’ve diversified their fruit production and currently grow a variety of top\, stone and soft fruit as well as asparagus and rhubarb. As they are situated in a hot and dry area of the UK (usually)\, they can plant well-flavoured\, extended production strawberries\, raspberries and blueberries\, whilst also growing rhubarb\, plums and cherries. This is in addition to 22 different varieties of apple\, which are grown in the most modern orchards which provide rare and valuable habitats for wildlife. They use the latest technology in automated intelligent irrigation systems which closely matches the needs of the plants\, and\, with an emphasis on ensuring soil health and biodiversity in the orchards\, they have also implemented various strategies such as Predasect insect houses and wild flower nectar mixes for orchard borders. They have invested heavily into Bi-baum™ twin-stem trees which offer a more reliable\, cost-effective way of growing fruit\, and their hail nets\, rain-covers and poly-tunnels guarantee that the crop is picked and not wasted. \nAs recently as 2022  Boxford Suffolk Farms introduced a new Apple variety to the market- and as their website declares” we are confident that Magic StarTM will be the best apple you will taste (certainly better than a particular pink apple out there) with the added advantage that it is grown in Suffolk\, UK. It is sweet but with a complex apple flavour\, perfectly juicy\, and will store really well in your fridge or fruit bowl”. \nAll of the above hard work has contributed to the farm winning two national awards in the past few years – the Top Fruit Grower of the Year\, and Soft Fruit Grower of the Year. \nThe farm also has an on-farm AD plant which produces 750kwh of electricity and 750kW of heat – they are turning maize\, out-graded fruit and apple pomace into energy\, powering cold stores and farm buildings\, whilst drying applewood to be sold as logs or other wood to be used to heat either the hotel or glasshouse in their 6 biomass boilers. \nThe committee hopes that you will come along and support the evening. It is always interesting to see how other businesses operate and not many of us will be familiar with commercial fruit growing in the 21st Century. Friends and guests are very welcome to attend. \nThe evening concludes at approximately 7.00 p.m. with a light supper provided by our regular team at Monarch Catering – we should be served fresh strawberries (grown on the farm) and cream as a dessert. \nThe event is free to Members\, but a charge of £15.00/ head will be made to non-members and guests. \nPlease email Alan.Gray@originfertilisers.co.uk if you would like to attend by Friday 3rd May at the latest. \n

SUMMARY:Farming The Dyson Way
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 21st March evening buffet meeting at Ufford Park Hotel 7:00pm \nThe evening commences at 7.00 pm. with the Club’s 71st AGM. We then welcome our keynote speaker for the evening Daniel Cross who is Managing Director of Dyson Farming. The Philosophy of Dyson Farming is “Innovative Farming for the Future” They are excited about growing the future of sustainable agriculture through innovation and people. “We will transform categories through reinvigorating the value in better tasting\, healthier food grown in harmony with the environment” These are just two of their bold headline statements from their website. What we do know is that they are now one of the largest privately owned farms in the country and through investment in new technology and perhaps looking at challenges through fresh eyes are making big strides in the agricultural world. \nDaniel is a Newcastle University Graduate who spent time working for G’s Fresh Produce both in the UK and in the USA before joining Dyson Farming in 2022. He is acutely aware that quality produce and a strong provenance are key factors for creating branding and building relationships with retailers. \nWe are extremely fortunate to have secured a visit from Daniel in his very busy schedule. I am sure the evening will be enthralling and one not to miss for any entrepreneurial farmer and business- person. \nFollowing Daniel’s presentation a finger buffet will be served at a cost of £15.00/ head.

SUMMARY:Rooted: Stories of Life\, Land and a Farming Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 22nd February evening meeting at Fynn Valley Golf Club for a buffet 7:30pm. \nWe welcome Barrister\, Farmer and Author Sarah Langford to the February meeting of The Club. Sarah published her first book in 2018\, In Your Defence: Stories of Life and Law.  This soon became a bestseller. Detailing stories of her career as a city Barrister in London. \nHer Husband the former Conservative MP Ben Gummer had lost his seat at the 2017 snap general-election and at that time they left The City to take on the small family farm just outside Debenham. Sarah turned her hand to farming\, her Grandfather and Uncle were farmers. Farming is in her blood. She admits that there’s  an extraordinary arrogance in me coming in and saying “well I’ve just decided to have a go at farming and I think this is how it should be done”\, but she discovered an industry beleaguered with the challenges of climate change\, Brexit and falling incomes\, farmers faced accusations of ecological mismanagement from a hostile media and public. But as Sarah looked to them to teach her about the land\, she also found a new generation of farmers on a path of regenerative change. \nIn her second book Rooted– stories of life\, land and a farming revolution published in March of last year Sarah weaves her own story around these farmers – from dairy to arable\, traditional to experimental – who taught her what being a farmer means. Intimate and moving\, these stories shine a light on the human side of modern farming\, and show us how land connects us all\, not only in terms of global sustainability but in our relationships with our physical and mental health\, our communities\, our planet and ourselves. \nAn authentic\, beautifully written portrait of 21st Century farming\, this deeply personal account puts a powerful case: that the task of restoring our earth and ensuring a sustainable future both for our food and ourselves\, lies in the hands of those who live closest to the land. \nSarah recognises that ” Food is only going to get more expensive\, she adds — and it needs to. “A chicken should not cost less than a pint of beer. It’s too cheap in an ecological respect\, in a nutritional respect; but it’s too cheap in a human respect.” \nAccording to the Times There’s light tension between Langford and her contractor (our Chairman Richard Scott) — “He’s never had to farm without the ability to get a solution off a shelf” — but mutual respect. \nWe look forward to what Sarah really has to say- do join us for what will be a thought provoking and fascinating evening.

SUMMARY:Farming Insects on an industrial scale to produce an alternative source of Protein and Biofertilisers - Keiran Whitaker - Entocycle
DESCRIPTION:“Our mission is to restore the natural world by revolutionising the way we feed animals” \n“Could Black Soldier Flies be the future of food production?” \n“This company is breeding millions of insects in the heart of London!” \n“Nature has spent 150 million years perfecting how to feed animals. It’s called insects” \n\nThese are all bold statements but it is true Entocycle is an insect Farming Company which has been backed by the government with a £10m. funding package to set up a new factory which will be able to process 33\,000 tonnes of food waste every year and produce protein for animal feed and pet food. At its existing site under the railway arches at London Bridge the company feeds local food waste – typically fruit\, vegetables and coffee grounds to the insects. \nKieran Whitaker the founder of the Company in 2017 claims that the “UK is making an ambitious commitment to becoming a leader in sustainable food production systems” listen to his presentation on how his company is at the forefront of producing protein\, organic fertiliser and natural fats from waste by farming insects.

SUMMARY:Vertical Farming Protecting\, Complementing and diversifying your farming experience with controlled environmental agriculture - Charlie Guy - Lettus Grow
DESCRIPTION:As reported by the John Innes Centre in July 2020 are we going to grow crops in space or give crops space to grow? This reference was made to the innovative way of producing food in Vertical Farms. \nYou may well have heard of Vertical Farming\, but what do you know about growing crops using only 5% of the usual water requirement and no soil?  It is said that by 2050 that the world population could be 9 billion and these people will have to be fed from fewer acres in more challenging environmental conditions using less resources – how can this be achieved? \nCharlie Guy co-founder of Bristol based innovative company Lettus Grow believes his business may have some of the answers. Founded in 2015 the company has been working with a number of partners to grow high value crops such as salads\, pak choi\, herbs\, small brassica crops\, pea shoots and bean shoots in an urban environment. The green benefits include better use of space\, fewer food miles\, isolation from pathogens\, reduction in soil degradation and nutrient and water recapturing and recycling. Powered by a sophisticated computer system LED lighting can be used to attain day night cycles when energy tariff rates are at their cheapest. Each bed can be fed and watered to precise requirements which allows product consistency and price stabilisation. \nVertical systems also allow us to extend the latitude at which crops can be grown from the deserts of Dubai to the arctic. “In fact if you were growing crops on Mars you would need this sort of technology because there is no soil” says Dr Antony Dodd from the John Innes Centre. \nResearchers at the JIC have bred a line of Broccoli adapted to growing indoors for a major supermarket and one of the aims of research will be to test how we can genetically tune more crops to grow in the controlled space of vertical farms. LettUs Grow are already working on growth regimens for fruiting and rooting crops such as strawberries and carrots as well as aeroponic propagation of trees for both fruit and forestry. \nIf you have an interest in how your food may be produced in the future do join us for an exciting evening of thought provoking comment and discussion.
