So, this amazing thing just happened.
I’m absolutely thrilled to have won Lakeland Book of the Year 2023 against incredible competition.
Love giving a platform for these voices #Fortyfarms

Thinking about running a small 3-night photo trip to Budapest next year during the Christmas markets ✨📸
5-star stay, great food, relaxed pace, night cruise on the Danube, golden hour magic all over the city.
Who might be interested—no commitment?

@Croftfoot's superb Forty Farms exhibition – which has been touring the country – has come home to Cumbria, at Whitehaven's @TheBeaconMuseum. Another chance to see Amy's photos on the wall.

Total idiots
Every metric shows we are creating problems
Damaging our own farming community and then importing more
Makes zero sense

🚨 The UK imported £17.054 billion in food and drink during the first three months of 2025, an increase of 6.8% on the same period last year.

Can someone explain to me how we can cheapen food, end farm support, retain domestic food production, have food security and create a more sustainable and nature friendly farming system?
No?
OK thanks

For years, your weekly shop has gone up.
Our deal with the EU will mean lower food prices at the checkout.
Putting more money in your pocket.

The government is spinning that they are offering a record level of support for British farming
This is CATEGORICALLY UNTRUE
I’m not sure they understand this point…
Let me explain…

Our moronic food system
Ban pesticide products here
Make U.K. products more expensive
Then import cheaper food from foreign farmers produced with the banned pesticides and undermine our farmers
11 Dec 2024
❌ Imported cereals, fruit and vegetables have been found to carry residues from 48 pesticides which British farmers are banned from using.

(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret.
I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.

I inherited a desk and drawers in my new job but didn’t have the key until today. When I opened it the stuff from the previous person was still inside it. Shuffling through I stumbled across the order of service for a 21yo girl, Amelia.

Forty Farms continues to engage folk around the country – with exhibitions at the Food Museum in Suffolk @FoodMuseumUK, and, recently installed, at Grasmere Gather. Go @Croftfoot.
