Aland Episode 3 - Regenerative Orchard with Anna and John

In summer 2025 Tree Amble was invited to the Finnish Island of Aland to meet with a group of people trying to safeguard and restore the traditional wood pastures on the island through regenerative practices. The project, run by Patricia Wiklund and her colleagues, is aimed at bringing farmers together to learn and discuss regen techniques and to look at ways of re-evaluating their traditional pastures in a modern way. They still have extremely biodiverse pastures scattered around more intensive farms. Whilst in Aland we met with farmers, project managers, the water company, foresters, chefs and Jenni who is promoting food tourism. We came away with 4 Tree Amble podcasts - this third episode is with Anna and John in their organic / regenerative orchard, a real treat! Aland produces a lot of fruit and vegetables, mostly conventionally, but it was interesting to talk to a couple working with more natural approaches.
