In this episode Peter talks to Tim Fussell from Fussel's Fine Foods in Somerset and Rachel and Chris Knowles from Trink Dairy in Conrwall about 'adding value' and the journeys that each respective business has been on.
In this second series of Farming Focus we're asking the question 'does my farm have a future?'.
Farming Focus is the podcast for farmers in the South West of England, but is relevant for farmers outside of the region or indeed anyone in the wider industry or who has an interest in food and farming.
