Wakelyns is one of those places that you visit and then tell everyone about. It's totally inspiring, full of people working on the land, turtle doves, and an incredible contrast to the industrial farming that surrounds it. Now it needs members! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The only time you hear about rich people and their money in this country is when they're threatening to leave and take it with them over some proposed change to tax legislation. Where are all the philanthropists for whom this would be relatively small change?

At a time of rapid climate change our food security has never faced greater threats. Floods followed by extreme heat and wildfire put our farmers and industrial food systems in peril. Wakelyns is a food system adaption powerhouse, providing resilience through diversity and is needed more than ever.

Agro-forestry: they called it mad. Now it’s government policy.

From lentils to frangipane, Wakelyns is quietly transforming British farming – & serving some of the best cakes in Suffolk.
