MY first introduction to the Diocese of Hereford was a caption competition in the Church Times. The photograph was taken at the May Fair. Every year there is a compulsory picture of the bishop and cathedral dean on the big wheel. In the picture, I saw the Rt Rev Richard Frith, my predecessor, and the former Dean of Hereford, the Very Rev Michael Tavinor sitting in a carriage on the big wheel – both looked rather ‘green’. I was highly amused by the caption: “Mick and Rick being sick!” Sadly, once again there will be no May fair, at least not in May this year. We are going to have a stab at holding it in August, when hopefully most people will have received their vaccinations and normal service can (hopefully) resume.

Now that may all sound rosy, but there is a catch. Making money from publishing news online is not nearly as simple as it is in print. For one thing, there are many more firms competing for advertising online. The biggest are the digital giants in America. Facebook and Google suck advertising money from the Herefordshire economy but contribute zero news coverage, to say nothing of corporation tax and business rates (we pay our dues on both counts, and are open about our tax strategy, which you can read here).

The announcement comes after the county saw a spike in coronavirus cases in the east Herefordshire area.
So what do we know about S&A Davies and Brook Farm? S&A Produce is one of the largest independent soft fruit growers in Europe. It supplies strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, goji berries and British asparagus to major UK retailers. The firm began its astonishing growth in the 1990s when John Davies saw an opportunity to branch out from potato farming at Marden, near Hereford, into strawberry growing. S&A now has two farms in Herefordshire, one in Wales and one in Kent, as well as producing asparagus from 70 hectares of land in Herefordshire and employs over 1.500 people.
