LitFest

I was commissioned by Artful Scribe to write and perform a work at Southampton LitFest's headline show.

I wrote about Lady Eve Balfour's Haughley Experiment. This experiment proved that natural (biodynamic/organic) farming is better for productivity as well as the land.

I came across Lady Eve as part of the research for my WIP, a nature memoir. My Norwegian family was involved in the inception of biodynamic/organic farming in the U.K.
