About the Farmers Half a century ago, ‘The Green Revolution’ waged a war on nature: sacrificing healthy fields for increased yields. Fred Price has transformed Gothelney Farm, replacing chemicals with care in a sovereign system that now seeds diverse population wheat, wildlife and happy people. Fred shares his grain with Rosy Benson for her on-site Field Bakery and Mill – the hub of the local community. We all knead the benefits of a real British loaf, ending with the eater and beginning with the land.
