What’s the Deal with All the Mentions of Organic Foods in ‘Spencer’? | Eater
"In 1985 the estate's Duchy farm was converted to fully organic methods by its owner, a decision that provoked tabloid mockery and scepticism from farmers—particularly after reports of the owner 'talking to his plants'—but championed the preservation of rare native breeds and agricultural diversity. Decades later, as organic farming expanded globally, the estate's early advocacy was vindicated and its produce became culturally emblematic (even referenced in the film as the source of organic biscuits), though the owner's self-righteous tone about having been right remains a recurring criticism." - Dayna Evans
