WITH regard to Andrew Gardiner's letter last week, I too feel we have a gift in the Yorkley Court community eco farmers.

These forward-thinking people, who are bright and brave, want to protect this pocket of land for local people, the future and nature itself.

They do not want to possess or exploit it.

These folk were encouraged to move to Yorkley Court Farm by 'aware' locals.

These eco farmers can teach us so much about sustainable living, the preciousness of the soil which feeds us and protects us from flooding and so much more.

They are an example to us all in their desire to share their knowledge and skills for the greater good and not self-interest.

Words fail me at the description of these people as "lawless anarchists".

We shall see and hear who is behaving in a lawless way.
