EP.6 – Farming Bowland
In this episode we visit two farms located in very different landscapes across Bowland. First, the group of young people from Yes Hub in Nelson who made the ‘Pendle’s Hidden Gems’ episode of this podcast visit Northwood Farm, located just outside the town, and overlooked by Pendle Hill.
The group meet Philip Marginson, a beef and sheep farmer who regularly runs educational visits to the farm. Saud, Dua, Zainab and Callum spend time recording the sounds of the farm, and asking Philip questions about farming life here between the town and the hills.
Then we travel to a rural valley in the heart of Bowland to meet Tom and Jackie Entwistle on Lentworth Farm in Abbeystead. Over an entertaining and enlightening chat around their farmhouse kitchen table, Tom and Jackie discuss life farming in a small and tight-knit community.
