I am always keen when away to find stories from the local economy. Local meat producers have found an interesting way to keep there produce cool by insulating with wool from local rare breed animals.

By selling the fleece to meat producers incomes of the rare breed farmers will hopefully rise.
A great example of an of a local economy story. The full article can be read here.
