Spent 2 days this week in a pasture field talking about dye plants with farmers. Two years ago we were invited to create a dye plant demo plot at Groundswell Regenerative Agriculture Show, just half an hour cycle ride from where we live in Hertfordshire. It has been fascinating to see which plants thrive in a field setting. The Cherry family, who created and host the show, steward their land with great care. We are humbled to be a small part of the event #soil #soilhealth #notillagriculture
