Hill Fruit Farm Visit
This morning I visited the second generation blackcurrant grower, Mark Buckingham at his farm in Swafield near Trunch.
This was fascinating because Mark only grows blackcurrants on his 170 acre farm - all for Ribena.
Across the country there are just 30 - 35 farms producing blackcurrants, so it is really exciting to meet a grower in the heart of North Norfolk - showing the diverse nature of our agricultural industry.
Fascinating to visit and learn about the process and harvest. Also really impressed with all the environmental schemes on the farm to assist and promote biodiversity and nature.
Thank you so much to Mark and the whole team for inviting me to come along.
