Apologies for the Background noise in the spud shed - please skip to 13:36 if you wish to skip that part.
In this episode, join Heather, Trish and Phil in the packing shed as they pack up potatoes that have been donated for Rotary food parcels by Ian Prior. They discuss the difference between a 'NEW Potato' and the others, how Farmer Phil came to be receiving some money from the Potato man and (just about) the extent of Phil's potato knowledge.
Then Join Heather and Phil in the cattle yard as they chat about the fun and games that our calves like to get up to.... They then delve into the world of manure and then discuss 'Yorkshire Boarding' and how it's used to keep our cattle well ventilated. Lastly, Phil discusses the changes that have been made to the farm since the first inception of the podcast, namely that we have less cattle... and he drops a possible bombshell about the environmental sections of the farm...
ABOUT THE SHOW
At this difficult time we are not allowing visitors onto Lower Blakemere Farm, but don't fret you can still get a peek into life on the Wiggly farm with our New Wiggly Podcast! If you're as sad as we are about The Archers skipping a day, then we've got your Friday fix right here.
Each Friday, join the Gorringes (The Archers of Blakemere) for a new episode - including Heather's wiggly updates, the farming catch-up with Farmer Phil, the return of the (now older) Monty Cast and lots of other interviews!
So run a bath (or whatever you do when you listen to podcasts) settle in and let us invite you for a slice of country life from the heart of Herefordshire.

ABOUT THE TEAM
Heather Phil and Monty live on Lower Blakemere Farm in rural Herefordshire. The farm is 650 acres and part of The Duchy of Cornwall estate. There are several diversifications on the farm - the main ones are The Great British Florist and Wiggly Wigglers.
These small ecommerce businesses are run by Heather, San, Rach, Rob and Lydia. Wiggly Wigglers aim is to Bring your Garden back to Life with worm and bokashi composting, garden bird food and other ideas to encourage a wilder garden.
The Great British Florist grows, and makes garden bouquets and posies daily on the farm which are sent all over the UK to hopefully deliver a Brighter Day!
