“A new campaign aims to expose misleading 'farmwashing' practices adopted by retailers, who are 'exploiting' the public and farmers with the use of fake farm brands.” farminguk.com/news/retailers…

Cornish new potatoes are on promotion in Tesco stores now. Delicious soft skinned with a buttery taste. Look for the black and white flag.

Covering parking lots with solar panels is a hell of a lot more sensible than plastering them over prime agricultural land.

Great first day of Royal Cornwall 2024. Food and Farming pavilion full of lovely local produce. Highly recommend Cornish Gouda’s new honey and clover.

Get into the roots of farming and visit a farm for Open Farm Sunday! On Sunday 9th June, hundreds of farms will be opening their gates to the public, giving you an insight into the world of farming. Find a farm to visit: farmsunday.org/visit-a-farm #OFS24

@camelvalleybob @FenteroonHols Congratulations!

Fabulous news! We have the honour of being granted Royal Warrants both for His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen.

Well done Cornwall! We need more local authorities to do the same and support our farmers. #NoFarmersNoFood

Farmers out in force in Westminster this evening for @SaveBritishFood demo. Three key asks on food imports, food labelling, and food security.

MPs are currently debating food security in the Commons.

That's all, folks! Off home now. Cornwall's Farm & Country schools event over for another year.
