What it takes to run an urban farm
What does it take to run one of Britain's biggest urban farms?
As part of the BBC's Farmwatch, the team behind Nunny's Farm, at the heart of a housing estate in Grimsby, have given an insight into their "severe labour of love".
From fixing fence posts to "scooping poop", their days are "hectic and very busy".
But director Neil Campbell believes it is all worthwhile for the positive effect it has on the mental health of visitors – in a community where a majority of residents do not have a car.
Last winter, Mr Campbell warned the farm faced closure due to a funding shortfall, but residents rallied round to raise £40,000 to save it. "Long may it continue," he says.
