Mr Robin Gear Retro organics:

Mr Robin Gear and his wife Lois gear live in Gore. Mr and Mrs gear have dreamed of making cheese from the milk from there own cows for 17 years. They make organic cheese so that means they don't use any chemicals. Mr and Mrs Gear both lost there fathers to Liver Cancers. They thought it could be some of the food they ate so they they wanted to make better food in an organic way. The farm was put on T.V show called: Rural Delivery. Mrs Stevens thought that it would go well with our Topic this term so we talked to Mr Gear on Skype

Here was some of the Questions we asked Mr Gear:


 * How has technology helped with the marketing for your products and the establishment of your business?
 * What makes your farm organic?
 * What cheese is the hardest to make and why?
 * Since I was diagnosed with cancer, I would like to know what type of cancer your fathers died or?
 * On average, how much cheese to you make each day?
 * Is it more expensive to run an organic farm?
 * What are the benefits of farming organically?
 * What do you do to keep your stock healthy instead of using pesticides?
 * Is it easy running an Organic Farm?
 * How has changing to an organic farm affected your income?

What I thought: I thought that it went really well I did not know anything about Retro organics and I think I learnt that we could all eat in a organic way.
