Lessons From Farmer Ben

Ben Andrews is an organic farmer from Herefordshire. Hello Ben! He comes from a long line of farmers going back hundreds of years and keeps about 150 cows as well as growing all sorts of vegetables. He also runs Agrespect, an online network of LGBTQ+ farmers dedicated to celebrating diversity, visibility and inclusiveness within the agricultural world. Ben strives for a better world with better food – see three exclusive video tutorials on growing one’s own crops at home during lockdown which will be airing on @brownsmens IGTV on Saturday 20th June.
