Country Focus   /     A Rare Cone and a Goat Club

Description

Upland hill farmers fear for the future existence of their farm businesses in light of Welsh government’s scheme proposals.We visit Blas Farm - an organic vegetable farm on the Gwent Levels aiming to produce food in a sustainable way for the local community and to encourage young people into the industry.We hear how one of the world’s rarest and most endangered species of fir tree ‘coned’ for the first time in decades at Hergest Croft Gardens on the Powys-Herefordshire borderand how about joining the goat club in the city of Swansea? It's for the benefit of conservation but warning - they could be too cute to resist!
