Jess & I visited Dumble Farm Highland Cows this week to cuddle some cows! What a humbling experience to lie/cuddle these gentle animals in whose presence I felt absolutely tiny!!!! As joyful as this was, my main takeaway of optimism was the conservation work that the team of 3 farmers are doing there. Having just watched "Kiss the Ground" documentary(highly recommended) which is all about how a group of farmers are leading the way for our urgent need to return to biodiversity, the cows are an essential aspect to us restoring the soil. Their methods also have a very positive impact on carbon and climate so I applaud that these guys are already doing this which is evident in their land (& variety of wildlife) as you tour around. So heartening to see their respect for the land & their animals, their passion in what they do, their intention to help bring back a struggling species (the lapwing) plus a vision for other projects going forward.
