Feeding the nation

With the biggest crisis in modern history facing the country, never before has food security been brought into sharper focus.

Farmers like Kenneth Thwaites and Geno Browne, co-owners of the Wally Browne Farm in Bethesda, are among those playing their part in the national effort.

This week, the 75-acre, mostly organic farm has been busy planting vitamin C-packed watermelon, harvesting onions and selling fresh fruit and veg at its roadside stall.

These photos – captured by Edwin Gifford – show Thwaites (red shirt) and Browne (black shirt), and others, out and about at work.
