Jenna Abbruzzese (Addington Downs) - farming with purpose

We’re back with Jenna Abbruzzese from Addington Downs in the second episode of our ongoing series about lamb farming. Jenna and her partner Alex farm with purpose and in alignment with strong values around nurturing land, animals and the humans who eventually eat the meat they produce. We talk about the problems with purity and strict labels, and the emotions around sending animals to the abattoir.
