We start our new series of episodes looking at meat farming in the UK’s Lake District by meeting the Lake District Farmers organisation.
Jan and Paul travel to Ulverston – or Oolverston as Jan would have it – to meet LDF Head of Purpose and Sustainability Phil Scott and find all about the organisation and its work with farmers across the county of Cumbria.
LDF work with a network of around 50 farmers who have native breed cattle, sheep, and pigs to process and selling high-quality meat. But how do they work together? How does this network benefit the farmers involved? Why do top chefs in London want their products? Why are they working with Lancaster University – and how? And what are the challenges facing the Lake District’s fell farmers?
