Was curious to see if there was any comment anywhere about what seems a very cavalier attitude to his research. I stumbled on this, from when he first applied:
Tom’s past farm business experience, his time managing a pig-unit in Canada and his childhood at Bridge Farm have driven an interest in diversification into producing organic baby food.
Is it just me, or is that a complete non sequitur? I can’t see any logic in the progression at all–still less if you follow it through to his current unsuccess story.
It is rather telling that there seems to be no follow-up to the article.
I thought that it was his sister who drove an interest in diversification into producing organic baby food. She told him he should make it, anyhow. And with Helen, that probably counts as driving. Or perhaps back seat driving…
It is the very definition of the SW’s failings, whereby they dream up an idea, half follow it, presume no-one will actually check up the facts … & then drop it from view.
This is Tom we’re talking about. He probably forgot all about it to concentrate on his Latest Grand Business Scheme. It’s just like the Grundys, only less scammy.
Because of course baby food has now become fermented foods, which by all accounts taste disgusting. I have to agree with Natasha, there are a lot of whims being followed on the farm, and none particularly successfully.
