It tells it like it is - from the pain of harvesting frozen leeks in winter to the joys that the miracles of the soil beneath our feet and the busyness of wildlife in the unfolding seasons can bring. Every grower should have one on their shelves and give them out as presents, too!

Today I’ve been at the Organic Field Day at Wassergut Canitz near Leipzig. It’s a huge event - lots of inspiration and great to meet up with old friends

Just got my copy of #Silvohorticulture! Looking forward to getting stuck in. Love that it’s dedicated to Alan Schofield & Martin Wolfe #Wakelyns and @organicrescent.bsky.social (especially Jo Smith and Sally Westaway) get mentioned. Well done @benraskin.bsky.social and Andy Dibben. Chelsea Green.

Really nice review of Tim Deane's Nature Notes in @thesoilassociation.bsky.social #OrganicFarming mag. #Naturewriting "Reader, it's like a hot salty bath on sore wounds and a broken heart. His writing is wryly amusing, intelligent, closely observational and somehow cosmic all at once." Lucy Gatward

Love this photo from ORFC photographer Hugh Warwick. Great to see Simon Fairlie #TheLand (fab magazine!) holding a well dog-eared copy of Tim Deane's Nature Notes. Come and get a copy on our stall to the right of the main stage in the Assembly Rooms. #ORFC25

Great to see a grower Andy Dibben kicking off #ORFC25 ‘we should move away from an us and them mentality.’ Key word: solidarity

I'm trying to promote this fabulous collection of #Naturewriting from Devon organic farmer Tim Deane. It's written from the perspective of a grower with his nose to the ground - observational, humorous and insightful.
