About This Podcast

West Cornwall’s Bosavern Community Farm podcast Twist & Sprout is a gem of medium to long format interviews linking community farming to health, wellness, body and mind. Join us over lunch prepared with local ingredients or out in the local fields as we dive into the small worlds of microbes in soil or take a satellite view of large global issues such as food security. Through exploring the big issues we aim to sort out small solutions and through the multiplication of these small solutions we seek positive change.
