Went to see Six Inches of Soil last night Team Picturehouse #York - wasn't sure what to expect. Very glad to see that the film does not shy away from the reality and complexities of moving to #regenerative #agriculture and the challenges faced by #new #entracts - Highly recommend

Had a fun day visiting the ECOMIX samplers at Howsham Mill on the River Derwent, Nunnington Hall on the River Rye and the River Swale near Richmond.
