Cows and the Earth

The story of Britain’s first dairy in modern times to run entirely without animal slaughter or the use of fossil fuels

Description

The true story of a unique experiment to transplant Hindu values of cow protection and working oxen to the modern Western world. It all began when George Harrison donated an historic Hertfordshire manor house and 20 acres of farmland to a young community of Krishna people fresh from the city, and two cows. Thirty-six years later the experiment has grown into a carbon-free working farm in a superb set of low-tech English oak farm buildings housing fifty cows and oxen. What makes the farm unique and relevant is that it is Europe’s first dairy to run entirely without animal slaughter or the use of fossil fuels, and so fully embodies the principles of sustainable and ethical living necessary for future peace and prosperity.
