A couple of years ago we erected a series of windbreaks across our market garden, which involved digging in fence-posts, before attaching rabbit-fence and windbreak mesh. Then in August this year, at the foot of one of these fence-posts, so probably dug out whilst digging in the post, our assistant grower Ross discovered a little collection of flints. We have had these looked at by a local archaeologist, who says that they are "worked", and in keeping with prehistoric human activity here on the farm. How exciting to know that we are working a patch of land that has been worked for many thousands of years! I hope that we are doing our ancestors proud whilst building a fair food system for future generations.
