Description
Helen’s agroforestry project, a working field lab, is part of a pioneering movement happening across the UK and around the world. Eastbrook Farm’s agroforestry has already had a profound impact on the environment. Fields that were previously just grass are now full of orchids, and host to a wide range of insects and birds, including the red listed Meadow Pipit. The team are trialling a variety of different trees and bushes such as almonds, manuka, sea buckthorn and blackcurrants. This has inspired the production of the blackcurrant liqueur, bursting with zesty berries grown on the farm.
Helen Browning comments ‘The blackcurrants are thriving in our ever-growing forest garden! You can enjoy them all year with our stimulating blackcurrant liqueur, fantastic with organic prosecco or on its own over ice’.
