Summary
In this episode, host Louis De Jaeger sits down with Andy Dibben , head grower at Abbey Home Farm , to explore what a truly community-focused farm looks like in practice. Andy shares how the farm supplies fresh food for around 800 people every week , integrates trees into vegetable production, and uses agroforestry to build climate-resilient systems. They talk about the realities behind the numbers ā the wins, the risks, and the ongoing experimentation needed to keep both land and business healthy. From biodiversity and perennial crops to wildlife-friendly fields and evolving systems, this conversation offers a grounded, hopeful roadmap for farmers and eaters who want a more sustainable food future.
