This time I chat to Seagers, who are strawberry growers providing some of the highest quality fruit in Draycott.
Father and son combo, Andrew and Chris, talk about :-
- their strawberries
- the use of bees for pollination
- the ups and downs of farming life.
Most importantly they tell me what community means to them.
I am also astounded by the revelation that they once had a surprise visitor to the village – but not in human form!
