    13: Cheshire Wild Venison with Steve McGuigan
    Mar 4 2025
    We visited Steve at Cheshire Wild Venison to talk about venison as a meat, deer management, and how he started in this business in the first place.

    After showing us around his premises we sat down with Steve in his office and with the occasional accompanying hum of his chiller unit and chewed the fat about current practices surrounding wild meat and getting it into the food chain as well as some of the benefits of eating wild meat, both for human health and to the benefit of local habitats and ecosystems.

  • 12: The Man who Smokes Bees and Folds Hedges - Phil Lewis

    12: The Man who Smokes Bees and Folds Hedges - Phil Lewis
    Nov 26 2024
    Phil Lewis is a hedgelayer, market gardener, beekeeper, scyther and much more, who straddles the border of England and North Wales. As darkness fell in the woods, we sat around a campfire with mugs of tea and good spirits as we discussed the importance of hedges and hedgelaying for the health of trees and support of local ecosystems and wild food networks.

    Phil is also a beekeeper, or rather - he works in contract with bees. We talk about the pros and cons of Himalayan Balsam for pollinators and drift into the world of meadow management and why taking a hay cut is important for biodiverse grassland.
