Skype


 * Retro Organics**

We Skyped them on the 2.6.11
** Down South in Gore, NZ Robin Greer and his wife have made and are making an organic dairy farm. At this farm they make Cheese they make lots of different cheese including Haloumi, different cheddars and lots more. They started this when him and his wife realized that it could have been the food at the time that made their dads die of cancer. So they set out to do something that could help others like them. Now they are completely organic free, the only thing that is not organic is when one of the cows gets sick they sometimes use antibiotics but then they don't use the milk for a year. **

** What I found interesting? **

** I found this Skype session very interesting since this is only our second time we have skyped experts in their field. It was good that the other room came in as well. **

** How I felt about this? **

** I felt that I learnt a lot about Organic Farming and now I have lots of Knowledge and that could come in handy especially since we have just started a topic called our living world and this relates in with it all. **

** What I learnt? **

** I learnt lots from Robin some things were **

> 
 * ** 1. Some types of Cheddar age for two years. **
 * ** 2. That the fence posts aren't even aloud to be treated and have to have no chemicals on them. **
 * ** 3. How important Organic is going to be in the next few years. **
 * ** What we could do better? **
 * ** I think that more people could ask more questions and more detailed. ** **Overall this was a very good Skype session and very good of Robin to give up his time instead of doing some work. Thanks Robin**
