We're excited to announce that we're in the midst of our Tartan and Tweed Tour 2023! The one stop we couldn't miss along the M-1 was a visit to Leicester, home of Robert Bakewell - the man who transformed agricultural practices as we know them today.
Our conversation is with Barry Evans, custodian of a flock of one of the most famous examples of Robert Bakewell's efforts: The Leicester Longwool Sheep. Barry talks with us about the history of this breed and the organization that is dedicated to preserving it, with a (partial) list of the breeds that we can say we know and love, thanks to the Lustrous Leicester Longwool.
