Show Notes

We took some time out last spring to head out to Lismore - a wee island a short ferry ride from Oban - to meet Claire and Mike on their beautiful productive and, as it turned out, biodiverse croft. Crofting is a very old tradition in Scotland with small areas of land managed for food production in often remote communities. Claire and Mike have created an oasis of life within their which produces lots of vegetables and fruits - but they also grow tea! The spring birds were a joy when we visited feasting off innumerable insects.
