It鈥檚 not often you meet a farmer who鈥檚 also a circus performer, but that鈥檚 the reality for Emma who鈥檚 also running a small-scale mushroom farm in north Pembrokeshire with her partner cee-cee. The love of growing fungi all started for them in a wardrobe, but for the last few years, the pair have had access to two acres on a larger mixed farm where they produce a year-round supply of oyster and shitake mushrooms using both indoor and outdoor systems.

Verity Sharp visits on a day they鈥檙e out in the sunshine, drilling holes into logs and filling them with mycelium plugs that hold the promise of a mushroom bounty further down the line.

cee-cee manrique has British and Colombian heritage and still considers their dad鈥檚 coffee farm in San Juan de Rioseco 鈥榯he best place on earth鈥�.

The pair share tales of a formative two-year hitchhiking trip from north Colombia to Patagonia working on small farms along the way, and cee-cee describes how that compares to their current experience as a brown farmer working the land in the UK.

With laughter and immense mycelial knowledge, Emma and cee-cee share their aversion to bucket washing and great passion for slacklining.
