Good Farm Stories
These stories celebrate innovative farms pioneering sustainable practices. We hope that other farms will be inspired by them and build on the knowledge and experience they have. None of them reduce profitability and most of them increase it, particularly in the longer term. The stories come from farm visits by Green MP and agriculture spokesperson Jeanette Fitzsimons during 2009. We hope the site will continue to grow.
