I believe that the "farm-to-fork" concept is very similar to the principle of bio-dynamic farming, where cattle, crops, family, and the land benefit from the cyclical produce of edible growth, and fertilizing substances. It seems to me, that that lifestyle was a normal way of life on farms, in the days before machines and no village or town was yet dependent on what farmers produced, at least not so much that the farmer's family had to buy products to stay alive with their cattle and workers in the stable and on the land. The farmsteads in Britain are gorgeous when the buildings are still standing. These were little villages in and for themselves, providing cheese, milk, grain, wool, meat, eggs, vegetables, and what more?
Lovely video, One question: since you are a wool farmer, why do you "paint" the wool on the back where the best wool grows? If you put paint on the head or the tail, wouldn't it be better? I own sheep, not many and do not use paint, but there must be a reason that you are reducing the quality of the wool that is painted and it must be difficult to separate the painted from the natural wool. Than you for your attention to this question.
