PAUL MCCARTNEY REVEALS HE IS GROWING ON HIS FARM

Paul has revealed that he is growing at his farm.

Paul has started producing crops of spelt wheat, rye, hemp and peas at his estate in Peasmarsh near Rye.

Hemp - which is legal to grow in the UK if a licence is obtained - is a plant that comes from the same species as cannabis. But unlike cannabis, hemp contains very low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).  
The product is used to make cloth, cosmetics, rope, printer's ink, wood preservative, detergents, soaps, and lighting oil.  

Speaking on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast he said: 'We grow crops, I like doing things like spelt wheat, rye, we grow peas.
'We're actually just getting into growing hemp, the funny thing with government regulations is you've got to keep it where people can't see it, because you get all the kids coming in and robbing it!'

He went on to explain that his farm is all organic and that the estate doesn't use any pesticides or fertiliser.
He said: 'It's organic. I went organic over 20 years ago. When I first bought the farm there were some fields where my farm guys would say, 'There's no worms in these fields. There's no life.'

'That's because basically all you did was put on pesticides and then put a fertiliser in. I thought, 'OK, that's a challenge, we're going to go organic.'  

Paul also famously makes his own ale on the farm which he sends to his famous friends, including Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.

He said on the podcast: 'We do make our own ale. Through the years I'd hear like a neighbour would be selling some land that was next door to ours so I went to one and said, 'I hear you're selling a hop garden…' Long story short I got it and then I thought, 'I've got to start doing hops,' that's because the region we're in out in Sussex was a very big hop growing area.

 'So I went to a local brewer whose in the village near us and said, 'Will you make some beer for me? I'll grow the hops and you put it all together, all organic.' So he did, and then we were looking for a name for the beer, these artisan beers they've got to have crazy names.

'I was riding with my wife Linda one day through our woods. I stopped and went, 'You're not going to believe what you're to see now.' She went, 'What?' And caught up with me.

'It was a Stinkhorn, it's a fungus that's white and erect and very phallic, I mean it looks like an erect pen*s and then beside it, which is even better, there was another that was like a limp pen*s. I said, 'Don't blame me, this is nature.'

'So that's what our beer is called, Old Stinkhorn. I send it to friends, I just send it to friends, we don't produce that many, it's more a personal thing.'
It comes after Paul revealed that he is behind a series of mysterious classified adverts that are being used to promote his new book.

His new children's picture book is called Grandude's Green Submarine - and is out  (you can order HERE)

The new book will continue the adventures of Grandude and his grandchildren as they set off on a quest to find their music-loving grandmother, Nandude.


In a statement, Paul - who has eight grandchildren - said: 'I'm really happy with how 'Hey Grandude!' was received as this was a very personal story for me, celebrating Grandudes everywhere and their relationships and adventures with their grandchildren.

'I love that it has become a book read to grandkids at bedtime all around the world. I always said if people liked the first book and there was an appetite for more I would write some further adventures for Grandude – so he's back and this time with his special invention, Grandude's green submarine!'
