Did you know there was a brief moment in time when Baron Bigod could have been a box of free range eggs?

I'm at the kitchen table with Jonny Crickmore, hearing how the Fen Farm Dairy we know today came into being. From Jonny's childhood growing up bunking off school to join the hay harvest to becoming Britains most beloved cheese brand.

We also hear from Jonny's Father Graham, who always knew Jonny was destined for farming.

I'm back at Jonny's table. This time we're discussing how Baron Bigod come to be. From selling raw milk Jonny saw a gap in the market for a new British Cheese, a raw milk brie that from humble beginnings became Britains best loved cheese brand.

We also hear from Ivan Larcher, a French cheese guru without whom this may have never happened at all...

I speak to George Webber, the inspirational Deputy Head of Greenside Primary School.  George is responsible for a new way of thinking at Greenside, under her stewardship the curriculum is now taught through the lens of regenerative agriculture and food.  The kids grow wheat, they bake bread and they all eat nutritious food made in house.

I often hear that the problems in food and farming are reflective of a broader cultural malaise, surely the best way to combat this is through introducing a different way of being to the next generation.
