By Hand or by Horse

Available for over a year

Anna Louise Claydon explores Greenacres Smallholding in Witnesham in Suffolk - a community-supported farm on just under five hectares. Partners Jo Henderson and Andy Pratt have transformed the land from a space which was once abandoned and overgrown into to a busy, thriving farm and nature reserve, with big dreams for the future. Together they are on a mission to maintain and sustain Suffolk heritage livestock breeds, while running the farm by hand and by horse - as it would have been run in the 1930s. Anna finds out how Jo became a self-taught butcher, producing her Suffolk pork herself. She also meets Justine Paul, the founder of Suffolk Market Events which runs some of the biggest farmers' markets in the county - a community which has been vital for the growth of Greenacres. Anna follows Jo down the track of their new meadow walk in-development to find out why she's passionate about working the land herself, with the help of their horses-in-harness.
