Huw Foulkes is a 4th generation dairy farmer in the Vale of Clwyd in North Wales. Since bringing the farm back into their own management, he has been developing the family's acres into a regenerative, organic, nature friendly, calf-at-foot dairy farm for the past 4 years. We are well aware of Huw and his fantastic land stewardship, as he lives only a few miles away and is a source of both milk and beef for our family. It was great to have a proper chat with him about his story so far and how the practices which he and his family employ are helping local wildlife populations to thrive - meaning more wild food opportunities as well as a healthier local environment.
Even if farming isn't your 'thing', it is difficult to separate it from wild food. Much of the British landscape is managed for food production in one form or another; and the methods used are having a massive impact on our ecosystems as a whole, whether that's negatively through run-off into rivers or positively through the creation of field margins, hedgerows and healthy soils.
