05.10.22 In the parish of St Veep in Cornwall's South East Coast AONB, Rory Sheehan and Milo Corcoran run Earthbound Farm, a passionate and colourful contribution to the local food economy. Jess met Rory in Cornwall back in 2020, his energy and enthusiasm for growing completely infectious and ability to tackle challenges head-on impressive. Not only do Milo & Rory share their commitment to making a positive impact on their community through nourishing, nutrient dense & beautiful produce - they’re bringing people together through music and gatherings. For our Journal entry this week, we’re honoured to have Milo tell us more about the project and the journey so far. “Our aim has always been diversity. Supporting ourselves through this diversity will help our business in these early stages, curating events that nurture existing relationships and strengthen new ones. It has always been our future intention to allow this support to spill into our local farming community, helping other businesses financially and emotionally with Earthbound events.” Earthbound will be a space shared with other small-scale like minded producers, so it will grow to become a diverse and innovative hub, to share resources, ideas and most importantly build strong & valuable relationships with one another. The potential for diversification and collaboration in our approach to working with the land and the positive outcomes this brings has become abundantly clear for so many independent businesses in recent years, especially post pandemic. Big thanks to Rory & Milo for taking the time to share their plans & ethos, we can’t wait to see it grow. “We believe that a farm can offer people a lot more than food. We’ve seen that a farm can be a source of empowerment, education, healing and pure enjoyment and we are delighted to be giving ourselves room to explore all these wonderful potentials.” Link in bio to read the full article + to book Tickets to our Bonfire Night 5th November at Kudhva where Rory & Milo will be joining our panel discussion + on the decks !
