A farming journey, founded on the vital importance of meadows. The meadow is the mother of the farming system.
Let’s bring back this old saying with natural unfertilised meadows and show you how to produce everything you need for a healthy life and sustainable business through increasing biodiversity using the meadow system. By feeding animals meadow hay you bring in micro-minerals and fertiliser to your land, enabling the creation of amazing produce, simultaneously boosting biodiversity, so much of which is lost today.
Bosse’s expertise embraces Slow Food principles and the art of producing food of exceptional quality.
