Abigail Ryan spoke at last week’s Positive Farmers Conference about the importance of eating well in spring to maintain energy levels, morale and brain power. She said some farmers get “hangry”, which is anger from being hungry. You must allocate time in the day to get a decent hot meal. Those working in the Greenfield farm go to the local garden centre for dinner every day in spring, which is paid for by the farm.
