Why farming on a small scale is more than just a hobby

Small Scale producers play a big role in the rural community to put food, produce and crafts into the local market

Across Wales there are hundreds of people farming a range of animals and crops on a smaller scale and through working together, to support each other, they're creating stronger rural communities.  The Glamorgan Smallholders Association have seen an increase in membership during the pandemic.  This week, Marieclare Carey Jones visits the Association's Produce Market, at Gileston Manor in the Vale of Glamorgan,  to explore the smallholders' role in the Welsh countryside.
